dual-stick controls complaints are just your preference and I've never heard anyone but you complain about it
there isn't only 3 jobs it's just that 3 out of the 4 level jobs are actually good. on top of them there's still farming, bug catching. there's panning/plant cutting (if you want to your waste time I guess) and I guess trading probably counts as a job.
I've never had a large complaint with hit detection. Sure sometimes it's a bit iffy during lag but other than that I haven't had any problems with it.
