I'm not far from the end of this game for the first time. I don't get the impression that Rikku hates Wakka at all. She's always been really nice to pretty much everyone. Wakka is obviously a bit of a religious nut and his attitude towards the Al Bhed is awful.

I definitely don't see them as a couple. I didn't know that he ends up with Lulu in the second game but I find that a bit weird too. Didn't Lulu used to go out with Chappu before he died? I'm not sure he'd be overly thrilled that his ex-girlfriend ended up with his older brother. I bet he's beating his head against the wall of the Farplane.
