You should play PoR first not only for the story and characters, but you can transfer your save so your characters get a boost to their stats (helpful in RD's hard mode).

I know this may be a silly question but: how essential is Path of Radiance's story to understanding Radiant Dawn?

I've been meaning to give this series a try and since I have a Wii I thought I'd dive in with the console versions.  But PoR is ridiculously priced whereas RD is within the realm of what I'd be willing to pay to try out a new series (just about).

I just got Radiant Dawn, and I found no major issue. The story was well crafted to be able to jump straight in without playing the original. Indeed, I've played it, what, 10 times if not more now? You'll love it, so just go for it!

This goes for the OP as well, ofcourse.
