For all the unrest among fans this has created, I feel sure that if Yuna wasn't having a little trouble adjusting to Tifus's return, plenty of people would be upset about that instead. Probably saying "That's not how it works in real life," "She's not the same person she was; it isn't believable that there's no period of readjustment" and "Even when they got reunited in X-2's ending, Tidus himself commented on how apparent it was that she had changed."
Nojima at least appears to have made the attempt at satisfying all corners here. Yuna needed a readjustment period, during which Tidus was blown up and she was reminded of how much she had missed him to begin with.
Personally, I don't think it would have been believable for him to have just been dropped back into her life without some differences in their dynamic. She's changed. She's grown. She's more assertive now and more willing to think about her own needs. She can actually fathom having a future, which she had not had time for during their journey together before.
Much has changed. To pretend otherwise would have been worse than this turned out to be.
As for the boat sex, I'm not sure why people are bothered about that. They've just been reunited. They're young adults. Yuna snuck aboard his boat and "kidnapped" him with the intention of them getting some alone time. What was supposed to happen? A game of Scrabble?
