There's no reason to suspect that the combat system will be card-based beyond the fact that the characters are displayed by cards. Kichikuou also had the characters be displayed by cards, and that had nothing to do with anything.

So far it seems like the only purpose of having the characters appear on cards in the combat interface is to have an easy/lazy way of displaying and organizing parties without having to make individual sprites for everyone and having to figure out a way to represent everyone participating in a fight onscreen at once without it being a cluttered mess.
