So, I've read through the last 50 pages, but I still don't really understand. If I buy the game for $35, I basically get no content and only one operator, and everything else HAS to be bought separately. You can't grind for the operators and their scenes?
You get 3 for free for their "Advanced Reserach Pass", meaning extra rewards and costume for that character, also you can walk around as that character
You also get 1 free pass for other character and extra NEP to buy another pass (you can choose whichever you want)
Also the most important thing (for me at least) is that YOU CAN GET OTHER CHARACTER ANIMATION from the gacha, you just cant roll for that SPECIFIC CHARACTER ONLY
If you want to roll gacha for that specific character only you need to get the Advanced Research Pass
Many people is being misled that you cant get other character animation unless you pay but its not like that at all, you just need patience grinding to get them all
If you want specific 1 animation you can just buy it straight using in-game currency you get from dupes
