I beat it last night.
Linearity = Overblown. But in some instances it is really narrow and small and I wished it was longer. But overall it isn't just walking straight like some fruits make it seem.
Lack of Traditional towns = Yes it is true. There technically are towns in the game, it is just now that you use them like you would a real town. XIII doesn't give you that sense of what all JRPGs seem to do and that is that towns are a safe haven and that the worlds time stops. It never bothered me once though. It made more sense overall.
