No. Just buy the new one. It is a prequel to the first game and has the whole story mode of the first game in it after you beat the game.

I agree with this, Dissidia 012 is a much better game also so theres really no point to go back and play the first one.

Technically Dissidia 012 is a prequel so you need to play it first before the original.

Yeah, the campaign from the first game is unlocked once you beat the game. Pretty sweet.

No. I'm not very far in Dissidia 012 but it's near identical to the first game, which I've spent hours on.

It's only $3, so you might as well.

You only get an Aerith assist character, IIRC. I don't think she's worth the 3 bucks.

Plus 012 includes the original story

The second one IS the first game. It just has another story mode, new characters and maps along with music, and updated fighting mechanics.

No reason to get the first one. And if you just get the second one, you probably won't miss the duel colosseum as much as I do playing duodecim. But really, the game includes the full story, so that is really what matters.
