To be honest I've never been a big fan of the ATB system found in so many RPGs, I prefer when the battles flash by and you still get to enjoy the EXP and Leveling up thing.
So far I think Secret of Mana has done the best job (maybe also Zelda 2 for the NES and Tales of Destiny for PlayStation), and I was wondering if you know any similar games to these?
I'm chiefly looking for games in the SNES format, but any advice is welcome.
