What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Rulakir]

Actually agree with almost a whole reddit thread for once, what is this.

G'raha haters rejoice? :P I'm not going to lie, it's impossible for them to give me too much Emet unless they go full stupid with him like they have with other characters in mascot costumes or doing cutesy voices.

I've seen theories that there's a magnetic quality to the Azem soul. I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. While it would explain some things it'd also be like, great, everyone only likes me cause my aether is made up of Love Potion #9.

I'm not really one to 'hate' any given character.

Minfilia's the only character I hate. I even skip her cutscenes, I just can't stand her.

Edit: I repressed Hermes/Fandaniel from my memory.
