A significant portion of those were either rape, in another form, or rape in another form

maybe I missed it but does Byregot ever say "witness the glory of the divine!" in game like he says in the trailer?

Yes, I believe that’s what he says as he synthesizes an entire colosseum around you for one of his phases.

My personal theory is that the Twelve are some sort of constructed life-forms, maybe some sort of Bottom of the Barrel backup plan of Hydaelyn's.

Genuinely one of my favorite things about the whole raid is the effect they do when Byregot is building things around the arena. Since animating individual bricks would be ludicrously CPU intensive they instead put a simple distortion map between you and the animating parts, getting a very convincing look without any particle animation at all. It's just so cool.

Say what you want about FFXIV's limitations but the team has become absurdly proficient in making a ragged-rear end PS3 era engine pull off some impressive things.

I've seen more people horny for naldthal than byregot and frankly that's tragic

It's because Nald'thal has the voice of all of the cute boys from the last two expansions they were already hot for!

That's right, all four of them! Despite only having two voice actors! Nobody can agree on who their VAs are, but they agree that they're horny for them!

(I'm pretty sure one of them is Hermes', since there's a line that sounds near-identical to the ones in the Zodiark fight.)

No Thal’s Balls is a contraction and we never realised. Thal is Balls, Nald’s specifically.

it really bothers me I can't figure out who Nald is

I think Thal is Fandaniel/Asahi

Did some of the dialogue after the raid imply that Rhalgar has some sort of seniority over Byregot, or was that me misunderstanding?

Rhalgr is Byregot’s master in the scholarly sense I believe. Teaching him how to use Lightning.

Rhalgr is Byregot's father, according to the various wikis. I don't know where the information originally came from though.

Encyclopedia Eorzea, most likely. The creation myth says that Byregot and Halone were the last two deities to come through the Whorl (where most, though not all, of the Twelve were said to have originated), and Rhalgr was made their stepfather.
Rhalgr's own synopsis entry says "Rhalgr is the father of both Byregot and Halone, and serves as attendant to Nymeia."

I'd like to give you a straight answer but I lack access to the full French script and the instances where "Thal's balls" is used in English. I did check one scene where I know it's used (one of the last cutscenes of the ARR Hildibrand quests) and it's just omitted for a differently-worded statement of exasperation.
