FFX had a much drier sense of humor, it seemed.
Choice line:
Auron: "I hear you were quite the crybaby."
That is one of my all-time favorite lines in any FF.
Plus it would have been a bit out of place in a story about imminent death and father/son relationships to have just broad, slapsticky comedy. The darker touch to the humor was great. Made the whole thing a little more credible. (I'm replaying FF5 and forgot how much I hate the whole bug-eyed jumping-in-astonishment stuff that permeated the SNES-era games).
