    So much said in this topic that is just not true...

    Edit: In a Dev post SE already said which algorithm they are using for FFXIV, those who are familiar with RNG programming know about its weakness.
    Mersenne Twister. Its a very high quality algorithm for simulating true randomness (high quality as in it doesn't repeat often iirc 10^23 iterations or something), low predictability and excellent spread of outcomes. The main issue is not the algorithm, its that its unshielded in its implementation i.e. it didn't have its outliers clipped so its possible to have scenarios the OP experienced
