Bc last I checked we still have several new V4s coming out this year. To me, it seems like YAMAHA are just keeping things to themselves, again... because it *feels* like V4 should be ending but there are Vocaloids coming out for V4, or at least Akari is a confirmed V4, i don't know about Haiyi and others, like Zing, the YAN HE update, or other Chinese/update VBs... Everything feels... vague(?) right now. I want to believe that it means that a new engine is coming but Akari is opossing it, and Zing is said to be released in Spring 2018, which as a season is a few weaks away, so....

If we say that YAMAHA is keeping other companies up to date then i would believe that the companies would want a few months to prepare, so if i had to guess, i would say that V4 has at least one more year to go. If not then a new engine is defently coming, but, like V4, they will just drop it and say nothing about it before the matter.

I think there was about 1 month between the last V3 and first V4 vocal, Chika being the last, it was released early. There wasn't much of a difference between V3 and V4, pretty much GWL and XSY. I don't expect V5 vocals to be much different once again.
