The Frieren mimic emote is only available after buying 40+ loot boxes, right?

New to the game and just found out about the Frieren collab, but if I'm understanding this correctly, the only way to get the mimic emote is by buying 40 loot boxes, right? Which basically comes out to about $60USD worth of boxes?

Collabs are part-advertisement, PSO2 gets mentioned in anime related web news and blogs.

Vocaloid cosmetics back in 2013 was the one that caused PSO2 to became popular even though it was mocked as a Monster Hunter Clone. Vocaloid is from a video game where it is already designed to be visually appealing as a videogame character even with simplistic design.

Frieren anime designs are too simple, infact a lot of anime collab costumes are too simple to almost boring to look at.

The collabs made from other anime videogames are better, because the characters are already designed for viewing as a videogame.

I saw people get excited by the Frieren collab and I never understood it. Popular anime it may be, but that doesn't automatically translate to cosmetics that interest players of this game. Now if Sega put some actual effort into their collabs and made them fun for the player, like we got in base game, then maybe I could understand it, but collabs in NGS are almost entirely about giving Sega money, so it's impossible for me to get excited.

Would be preferable.

Are you talking about collabs that come with a boss/LQ?
Even then I don't mind cosmetic only collabs if they didn't pick the most bland, obscure or outright bad IPs to collab with like in NGS.
The game was better when it targeted a specific demographic in a specific region.

Wrong, Vocaloid is a voice creation program. Lots of Vocaloid game created based from that program.

I prefer collabs with story. Story is the reason I play.
