Judging from GameXplain's stream, I feel the first 1.5-2 hours seem to be pretty slow.

But after that it seems to be smooth sailing form there! :D

I wouldn't judge anything about this game based on their stream. Not only does the player not understand Japanese, he clearly didn't play Xenoblade and is honestly really bad at the game. I saw him about a half-hour into the game still trying to figure out how to start a fight.

He's also just really slow, spending several seconds looking at dialogue he can't read, going into equipment management every time he gets a new item, being really indecisive in general. He's doing his best as someone who has no experience with the game and can't understand the language it's in, but it's a poor example from which to draw conclusions about the pacing.

Ahh, yeah, that makes sense.

Well then, XCX seems to look great pacing-wise by what you said, especially since you can control the pace yourself due to the huge world.
