I personally love it. If they had kept the old ATB, it would be a modern gaming joke. The only reason AAA games in the past could get away with it was because they were focused on the cinematic effects of the game. In an age where that's standard, they have to actually be modernized in what is considered good combat- not turn by turn.

I think it looks interesting, I'm cautiously optimistic about it but I'd also like to say turn based games are not a relic of the past for games limited by the technology of the time. There's still great games being made nowadays that use turn-based combat by choice. Bravely Default, South Park: The Stick of Truth and Child of Light are all perfect examples of that.

Every advancement has people who refuse to move forward. It's the reason why going Digital only was such a big, bad deal. People resist change, the same way I resist First Person games.
