3) and you can't choose missions from a rescue board. meaning once you finish the links you can no longer go on any missions. Just random exploring. Which cuts replay ability VASTLY.

I do recommend at least finishing it. I do understand how other things and games are getting in the way though. Did you finish GTI or is that under the same boat?
Yeah, the tutorial is BRUTAL for any veterans to the PMD series, because I KNOW ALL THIS STUFF ALREADY! Or can at least easily figure it out on my own. I'm also not a fan of the whole Looplets & Emera stuff where you have to collect the Emera before they shatter. It distracts too much from the dungeon exploring and battling. Plus the fact they don't stay after you finish the dungeon means you have to start all over again with the next one.

Like you said, the whole gender thing is meh too. I liked how they inserted the personality test and how you could override it if you didn't agree with it, but then they dropped the ball on the gender stuff and all the characters talk to you all strangely like that. And yeah, not being able to choose your own missions... lame.

I definitely did finish GTI, and that was good, but once that was done, it was done. The storyline to that was pretty good. Definitely not as good as Darkness/Time/Sky, but it had it's qualities (it had an Emolga as a major supporting character. BIG QUALITY THERE!). But doing the extra stuff like building up Paradise or recruiting every Pokemon and stuff like that was not really all that captivating.
