The fact that it has been made so obvious that the fox is a pure mass of hatred for five hundred sixty chapters is exactly the reason why it feels weird that the tailed beasts suddenly have feelings and names and are capable of compassion.
The pacing might feel a little bit rushed,Kishimoto should have probably started developing the story between Naruto and Kyubi earlier,but the general idea is pretty clear.As an author he had probably dozens of other ideas for the plot so he probably was unsure where to start.

I personally was even annoyed at some points during the story that he still can't control Kyubi,when it's obvious that he will by the end.
