I love it when a fellow meta-lover checks things out carefully. I think that Square isn't entirely careful with some of the dead-body pyreflies mechanics; they're pretty danged complicated. (If you kill a chocobo by accident in X-2, pyreflies. Either Spirans are vegetarian, or SOME animals must not turn into pyreflies on death.)
Valefor seems to have a particular bond with Yuna, as Justira illustrated in Clarion (which I'm rereading yet again). Yuna's first aeon, temple fayth. If it's a spiritual and mental bond, then Valefor not only loves Yuna, but may also feel the bond with Tidus a little. I like to think that different summoners become attached to different fayth more or less along the way.
I can't wait to see how they're going to redo Auron's and Kinoc's models. Just a tiny tweak on Kinoc to make him a little more expressive would be great, for those interactions, although in that one they conveyed a lot with body language, as you say.
