Hildy just isn't very funny anymore

[Galactimus]

We also had the Ultros and Gilgamesh trials which helped support Hildy's entertainment value greatly.

The cutscenes are usually top notch, and the story itself is usually mediocre for the sake of delivering a good comedy routine.

But I think it would have been a way more fun to have, say, The Black Waltzes from FF9 during the whole Heavensward Vivi arc. Or a Yojimbo Trial for this Stormblood fiasco. Right now we are getting "one decent Hildy cutscene every 6 months" and thus hasn't been too entertaining.
