Combat System (Turn based?)

I know this has been addressed elsewhere in the forum but there seems to be a bunch of weird chatter about it either way.

Firstly, I want to say that if this game, like SO MANY OTHER GAMES THESE DAYS, fails to have turn-based (and I mean REALLY turn based, none of that real-time-with-pause CRAP), I will be so, so heartbroken.  This is just about the ONLY game I am excited for.

So here's my question:  Can I play Elemental with turn based (really turn based) combat?

Again, sorry if this has been answered somewhere else.
