So V4 has been out for about a year or so at this point and it still feels like its back to the days of V2 where we got vocals in drips and drabs. And also, the overall lack of new vocals particularly in the Japanese side has me bored of that part of the franchise entirely. We don't even have a Spanish Vocaloid confirmed yet for the engine. A year on, and there is no Spanish Vocaloids, despite the hype behind Maika and over zealous praising fro fans.

At this point, I think the biggest issue with the V4 engine is still what it is't doing that V3 did. Part of me likes the calmer overall tone as the pacing this generation has been overall better. The ad rush in V3 left many vocals raw, since when you have 4 vocaloid thrown at you at once and you have money for just 1 vocal, 3 are not going to get purchased at that point in time.

I guess the hype for the next engine will be greater now, but it feels like we've still in V3s downtime last year instead of V4's prime first year.
