That's not bullshit RNG. That's just usually the game having determined its rolls beforehand and stuffing them in a table or something. If it determines the seed it uses to roll RNs first and then goes through them as the rolls come up.

RNG manipulation then in this case is usually predicated around "using up" bad rolls on meaningless actions (also something you can do in FE7 to some extent because there's a trick with how it determines pathing that relies on the RNG so depending on how it resolves you can know if given rolls are low (1-50) or high (51-100) and then reset and act accordingly.

It's a function of truly random number generation being a far more difficult computing problem then you think so they rely on other methods to simulate it which depending on implementation can be gamed.
