    Any half competent coder could implement this in minutes. All you're doing is calling math.random() or whatever the equivalent is in FFXIV's language and outputting the result to chat after some slight modifications. I'm incompetent in 4 languages and even I could do this quickly.

    Those java times....! Random methods <3

    But, perhaps.... Things are more complicated for Square Enix?

    I mean.... Maybe the coding in PS3 is different and it would be annoying to recode it once you finished in PC and then PS4.

    What it probably is is they want to do something a little special with it. I probably wouldn't expect just a simple "X rolls the dice, and they come up Y."
    We might be getting an actual emote, and those take time, especially one with a variable.

    The code is already there unless it's something different than 1-99.
