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

So much for this thread being an echo chamber of drones who all have the same opinion!

I mean, it's like at most 3 - 4 people arguing with each other about one specific thing, and name-calling and insulting the opposition.

The Galactic Senate this ain't.

But the fact remains that all of his "hardships" were noble. They weren't a result of his personality flaws. The worst there was him exerting himself for the sake of others, which was brushed down to a bad habit that ultimately just got better. He did all the things he was met to do with no real consequence. His body became crystal, sure, but we just transplant him into his younger self, so all's well and good. There was no real gravitas to him, and that alone didn't exactly push for character development.

It's not so much "oh others had to go through hardship, why can't this person" and more "this guy has no flaws, and his hardships have a foregone conclusion, so he doesn't exactly have a character development other than a mild character growth". Because really most of his growth is off-screen. The rest is just him being more open, trusting and idolizing people less.

Mmm. I suppose this is a fair point. I did say that Gr'aha's best scene in 6.0 (the "how do you prove you're the same person when you wake up?" speech) was too much tell and not enough show.
