I don't believe that it's necessarily a bad thing to 'cherry pick' which aspects of the lore are taken at face value and which are seen as being more of a playful jest. There's some pretty intriguing scraps of lore hidden away within the Hildibrand side quests, for example, but the overall tone of the rest of the quests are very slapstick and doesn't really align with how Eorzea is painted elsewhere.
I wouldn't bother touching FFXIV at all if the bulk of content revolved around Hildibrand style antics. As something confined to a specific set of side quests, however, I can stomach it easily enough. Yet if it were to become the norm or people started to consider it as such? Well, I'd find some other MMO to play instead.
