>>55101464It literally is but midwits hear 'linearity' and think its literally about if the route is shaped like a straight line, when its actually about the overall progression through the game. This route is actually one of the best examples of an area that makes a region less linear, because it offers new things to do as the game progresses and gives players a reason to travel back.
I'm not a fan of XY for many reasons but this part of the game is one of its redeeming qualities
