Maybe other companies should invest in talk/speech? AHS seems to be getting some of their funds from it, and GachaTalk and Megpoid Talk seem to be doing fine as small projects. (Megpoid Talk being more recent.) I am baffled at how Crypton hasn't done anything to kinda join the trend.

And in a more or less in-the-future/not really VV/V5 talk, but find a cheaper way to update vocals. IDK, there are so many unique voices that would really benefit from updating to this or the next engine, but just don't have enough funds. It sucks major balls.

Also, for the sake of engine numbers, and the amount of money it takes to update vocals and to buy engine, after engine, PLEASE MAKE VV/V5 THE FINAL ENGINE. Let V4 take a really long course and give each company time to update to that glorious GWL. Then research and test different features. Like everyone's said, fix Growl, or add some type of sub-category for it. Add some new features, and pick up where other synths have left off.

IDK if this sounds racist or not, but quit focusing on mainly Japanese (and English sorta kinda) voicebank development. Spanish and Chinese needs work, and it looks (and sounds) like nobody in those regions of the community is taking the time to tune and fiddle with those voicebanks. Gosh Golly gee
