I replayed the original twice. I find it is very difficult to keep playing once you hit Eryth Sea, the game really slows down until the Fallen Hand. So I find I almost want to take a break here. Then the last thrust to the end is really trying.
XCX is kind of like Breath of the Wild in that I found I could lose myself for dozens of hours - although, in that time, build up my knowledge about what's going on, the people, and background (more so than Breath of the Wild even). Like Breath of the Wild, it can take a very long time to get around to finishing.
XC2's worst paced part is definitely the slow tutorial portion at the beginning; at least until a point in chapter 3. It's, unfortunately, far along in chapter 3 that you realize just how awesome it all comes together.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
