Oh.. if only. This is why I loved XII so much. It was basically scripting built into the battle system.
I thought we have a command in this game to give the time left on a cooldown. Let me poke through commands. I'll edit/update if I find it. ...and yeah, it's be object-oriented-ish in my example. I'd say it'd work great client-side, but with latency aka squeenix lag, it'd probably miserably fail.
edit: this was fast.

So they've definitely got a system strong enough to look up the information. Evaluation and conditionals would probably stretch it though.
