I've seen the claim that the Japanese versions of Fire Emblem don't do this, though I'm not sure if it's true. It wouldn't surprise me if people's past gaming experiences did a lot to vary their expectations for random number generation. I know XCOM was sometimes accused of fudging numbers against the player, though experimentation shows the percentage chances are correct (excluding bugs). I wonder if that's tied to expectations set by games like Fire Emblem.
