What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

I vividly remember (anyone can google this, in fact) people who didn't like Hildibrand back before Endwalker describing the comedy as cringe and/or "too anime". I like Hildibrand but I'm not as interested as I used to be because the type of humor and anime comedy shenanigans that used to make it stand out from the rest of the game is now present in the comedic scenes of the MSQ.

Yeah I'd been thinking that as well, with it now feeling closer to the comic relief in the main story than something distinct. For me I just haven't been finding the humour funny this time round as well
