Did Yuna turn into a SLUT?

[Heartless Angel]

I think the change is perfectly justifiable given the events of the original. Yuna decided that it was her responsibility to go die and defeat Sin when she was still just a kid, so there wasn't much point in her being outgoing and gregarious, making friends just to go die and leave them behind. Being a normal person with her own hopes, dreams, interests, etc was something she'd always seen as superfluous. It's a lot harder to resign yourself to die when you're vibrant and full of life, so, naturally she adopted a demure personality to distance herself from those things to be what she needed to be.After Sin was defeated, for the first time, she actually had a life to go live, a chance to discover who she really was beyond the duty she had forced herself to accept. And the two people who were most instrumental in freeing her from her fate were Tidus and Rikku (and the Al Bhed in general), who both refused to accept the cycle, and were the only two who really believed that it didn't have to be an inevitability, and kept pushing that until everyone else started to believe it, too. Their childlike naivety and stubbornness are what ultimately changed everything for Yuna, so it sort of makes sense that she'd try to be more like them now that she had her own life to live.

Also, I'd honestly recommend X-2, Taco. It's actually one of my favorites to play, even if it isn't the best story. The combat system is really fun, and honestly one of the best of the series.

I can agree to the combat system. It is very enjoyable and im surprised a system similar to it wasn't adapted into any other FF series.
While you might be able to see Yuna's behavior being justifiable from some psychological perspective, that doesn't mean we have to like it. Her character is changed entirely. If her name wasn't Yuna nor dressed in similar style clothing, we would have no idea that its her. She behaves like a teenager who just discovered her love for boy bands and pop music. Any and all signs of growth from her trauma appear to be missing from her personality. Look at Lulu, shes a prime example of someone matured from her experiences. She was once a guardian to a summoner she failed to protect and shes turned all sexy emo. Love it. Regardless, there's depth to her character. Yuna seems to have done a 180 in this regard.
