i noticed that ga3 has an option to skip the battles entirely.

i wonder if there's also one for ga2 and 1, since i wanted to replay them on different routes, but i don't really feel like doing the battling part again.

does anyone know if there's an option like that?

I second this request, though actually it's so that I wouldn't need to reply fights when go through a character's route I have already gone through before(incidentally, most of my saves are right at the battle briefing )

ga1 and gaml don't have the option.
