I've always found the Turks to be a source of comic relief, even back in FFVII. Like when Elena didn't know whether to thank Cloud or punish him for hurting Reno or when Rude and Reno reveal who they like to one another. It wasn't exactly "hah-hah" funny but the effort on Square's part was there.

It was a lot better in AC. Reno. Door. Close. Hilarity.
