Most likely Bluehole is actually one of the companies behind the project and is looking forward to collecting money for selling the exact same MMO to the same target audience twice. I predict that Azera will be sold at a full box price, charge a sub, go P2W and then F2P within a year, same as Tera did.

Which is HILARIOUS, but not necessarily comedy.
A lot of the humor in the game is very dark. Like the hilarious ways that Chua talk about eating people and then their silly one-liners when you kill them for it. Just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it isn't mature, and people who are nostalgic for that era of animation and gaming (90s platformers, Titan A.E., Treasure Planet) are going to feel very comfortable and satisfied with the tone. Whereas people who prefer anime aren't going to know wtf they're looking at (although they could totally watch some Outlaw Star and come pretty close on a few episodes).
