Do PoR or RD have alternate storyline modes, like Eliwood Mode and Hector Mode in FE7?

Radiant Dawn does something a bit more interesting.  The game is divided into 4 parts.  In the first 3 parts, you start with a different group of characters.  It's hard to say anything more than that without giving a lot of spoilers though.
