Actually the particular "attractive" about extra phonetics is the flexibility when you work with them, but of course only adding 16 extra phonemes you can't cover the needs for all the languages. BUT what I see more "cool" about extra phonemes in vocaloids is the fact that people that want a vocaloid in a particular language (germanloids, hindiloids, ukranianloids) could use them and obtain decent results compared to the possibilities standard engloids/japaneseloids/koreanloids offer.

Sonika tried, but it failed.

SeeU also tried, but also failed

MAIKA was successful, and you can't deny the fact that she is a BIG improvement over her predecessors.

But, again, in the case of japaneseloids (Chika, particularly) the addition of extra phonemes is useless because, well, producers only want japaneseloids to sing mainly... in japanese.
