How is chance for a critical hit determined in Final Fantasy IX? - Silhouette of 2 Person Standing in Front of White and Black Stripe Wall

All I've been able to find is the following:

Your chance of a Critical Hit with the Attack Command is based on Spirit:

Rnd MOD [Spr / 4] > Rnd MOD 100, attack will critical

from here.

and the slightly differently worded

If Rnd MOD [Spr / 4] > Rnd (0...99), Hit is critical.

from here.

What is the left side of the expression saying? I know MOD means the remainder after division, but the MOD would just go 0, 1, 2, 3 as you gain spirit, meaning only spirit values one less than those evenly divisible by 4 would be valuable for scoring crits, which makes no sense.

Does a critical hit automatically hit?

Critical hits only hit regardless of modifiers or the target's AC, but there are other things that can cause an attack to miss. For example, if the target is hiding and the character must guess their location, if they guess wrong then their attack will miss automatically even if they roll a nat 20.
