So its not linear in the same way as FFX was ? I usually think Linear helps certain kinds of plot driven games. An open world can sometimes diminish the possibilities of nice plot twist.

I just looked at your link Smash xD
Lol its almost like a straight line, only 4 parts really change the straight line xD
And can`t you flee or dodge the incoming enemies? (haven`t watched gameplay footage xD)

And are the towns that different ? did they change the simple town with a inn, item , weapon/armour shop thingy or?

You haven't seen any gameplay footage yet? You should watch some gameplay to see what people are talking about, this game has a lot of exploration you can do later in the game, Gran Pulse is pretty big. But, yes the beginning is very linear.
