I’m not sure it is real time combat... Not like Kingdom Hearts. I think the characters run around automatically so it looks a little more dynamic, until the action bar is full then they attack (kind of like Grandia).

I’m sorry if they make this game episodic I would really hate it... Don’t get me wrong I quite like tell tale stuff but episodic doesn’t work for everything RPGs like this need to be the full game off the bat.
