What about Star Ocean 5? It's always been less turn based more action combat series anyway. Look at some combat videos and see what you think. 

With ME, 1 is more RPG like than 2 or 3 which focused more on action but all 3 go for the role playing very well, in my view.

Oddly enough, I've never seen anything on Star Ocean. I just hear how great of a game it is. Would it be wise to play Star Ocean 5 without playing the previous titles?

They share the same universe but not the same characters/story (different time periods), so you are fine there.  I didn't think much of SO4, the voice acting and sound wasn't the best and it put me off. I love SO3 though (that was a PS2 game), and 2nd Story was good too. It is/can be very JRPG. You should be fine with starting with 5 tbh but if you are unsure, just wait until it's a little cheaper or check reviews and/or thoughts when it's out.



Hmm, pie.
