Slightly hypocritical yes. ONLY if their complaint on FF13 was purely based on the linearity. Final Fantasy games have always been very linear. The main difference is that they used to do a pretty good job of hiding it. FF10 did a bit worse a job of hiding it. And FF13 did even worse.
10 is very linear but it doesn't really feel like it because it's regularly broken up with slightly more open areas and branching paths. Without the towns, FF10 would probably be quite bad too.
