In 50 hours I've had one bug, which is that combat bug. It required me to run back and kill the buggers.
Insofar as the story is concerned, at least the story they were trying to tell this time around was solid unlike FFXIII. I think I linked it earlier but this summarizes the entire plot with the holes filled in: My Interpretation of the Final Fantasy XV Story (MASSIVE SPOILERS) : FFXV

Years ago, a war, marked by plague started at the hands of Ifrit, consumes the world of Solheim turning much of mankind into daemons.
To end the war, Ardyn Lucis Caelum, is chosen as a savior granting him the power to cleanse the sick and defend the world from Ifrit’s plague. With his new power, he absorbs myriad daemons, reducing the plague’s impact on mankind, sending Ifrit into hiding, ending the war and corrupting his soul.
Consumed by deamons, he is denied entry to the Astral Realm by the gods. Now immortal, he is unable to be drawn in by the crystal to power up the ring and eliminate the scourge for good. No longer suitable to defend the crystal and absorb it’s light, he is ridiculed by the people and deemed unworthy to ascend the Lucian throne.
Realizing their mistake in choosing Ardyn, the gods present Izunia Lucis Caelum (the first king of Lucis) with the crystal of light and the ring. Anointed as king by the gods, the Lucis Caelums defend the crystal until the day it chooses one of their own to receive the light of the crystal. At the same time, the Nox Flueret line is chosen as to serve as oracle. They will be tasked with suppressing the scourge until the "chosen" king arrives to bring the light of the crystal to Eos.
Izunia ascends the throne and casts Ardyn out while also writing him out of history. With time, people simply forget and move on.
Fast forward 2000 years to Regis’s time...
Chancellor Ardyn Izunia (now working alongside Ifrit) orchestrates a plan to weaken the power of the crystal and once again fill the world with the Scourge to destroy mankind. With the scourge once again taking over Eos, the crystal finally chooses a new king (5-year old Noctis) to rid the world of the scourge.
At the age of 8, Noctis suffers an attack that requires a long period of healing from the Oracle (likely Lunafreya’s mother...not Luna). I believe it’s at this time, that he first comes in contact with Lunafreya and the two become very close friends.
It’s also around this time that Niflheim attacks and annexes Tenebrea. The attack results in the death of Lunafreya’s mother. It is also the last time Lunafreya and Noctis are together before they are betrothed.
Fast forward to modern day...
At Ardyn Izunia’s recommendation and as part of the terms of the cease fire with Niflheim, Regis agrees to the betrothal of Lunafreya and Noctis. Knowing he is being played, Regis sends Noctis to Altissia mere days before the treaty is signed to wed Lunafreya.
During his trip, Noctis meets Ardyn who ultimately plays Noctis and his brothers for fools pushing them toward his ultimate endgame. He kills the Oracle, preventing anyone from slowing the Scourge, while also attempting to kill the remaining astrals (more for Ifrit than himself I think) that betrayed him before ultimately setting his sights on Noctis.
He makes certain that Noctis gets the ring, that Noctis finds his way to the crystal and that the crystal gives Noctis its full power.
Ardyn then waits patiently 10 years for the crystal to recharge the ring and for Noctis to come for him…to give him his 1-on-1 day of retribution with his brother's bloodline.
Ardyn falls to Noctis, who assumes the gravity of his position. He sits on the throne and calls on the Glaive to grant him their power and take his life. Once he’s dead, Noctis confronts Ardyn in the Astral Realm and uses the true power of the crystal imbued to the ring and purges Ardyn’s soul of the scourge.
With Ardyn (and Ifrit) destroyed, the crystal blesses the world with it’s light and cleanses the remaining scourge freeing the world of its curse.
Luna and Noctis are finally free of their individual burdens, marry and live happily ever after in their eternal slumber.
