Xenoblade 2 has a lot of that. But it also tends to blatantly parody that as well. The whole Tora and Poppi relationship just parodies that sort of thing the whole time. Tora is a Nopon, and shouldn't be attracted to humans, or robots, or maids. The fact that he is is just comedy gold. It works for the same reasons that Pepe Lepew and the cat works as comedy. It's a bit like the "Did you see that android in the lunchline?" skit from the Portal parody https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uz5cl131KTk Tora, and Portal Turrets aren't supposed to be sexual beings. So the fact that they are is hilarious. 

Right, it can be done tastefully, in a way that's actually funny. Haven't gotten around to playing XBC2 yet, it's sadly in my backlog, but I've heard it has a fair bit of the cringier parts as well. I've also heard it is an awesome game otherwise, so I'm sure I'll love it to pieces, but it might end up on the "awkward to play with girlfriend" pile.

Imo the writing never gets too bad or cringy but pyra and mythra's designs are almost distracting. Every now and then you can't help but notice pyra's massive D cups in her skin tight outfit and it just takes you out of the moment in what should otherwise be a darker or more touching scene.
