The main missions being tutorials is a massive detriment

The main missions being almost exclusively tutorials is a massive detriment. 

I have around 6+ hours on the game and have unlocked missions in the second area, the last thing I want this far in is an entire mission and NPC dialog sequence teaching me how to do a manual. The next mission is a tutorial on grinds which is something the player has been likely doing for hours, but the catch is that it requires 3 or 4 specific types of grinds. This is not fun, especially for return players of the series.

Many others have already pointed out the features related to "story mode" from previous games which are missing, which I am willing to look past since this is early access, but these missions we got instead are worse than having nothing at all.

We had an engaging story experience before, now we have hours of tutorials. Strict downgrade.
