Record of Agarest War

I'm looking to get into this series but I have a few quick questions. Should I start with the first one or Record of Agarest War Zero? Any significant gameplay changes, is one of them significantly better? That's about all, thanks for any responses.

As I understand it Zero makes a lot of improvements to the gameplay. I don't know if you need to play the first to understand the story or not.
