Hmm... to be honest, at this point it even looks like some folks are wondering if the CeVIO project for her will even stand firm ever since getting word about ALYS no longer being slated for VOCALOID. (Cynicism and disappointment can be understood, especially from those who had high hopes that the project would go as planned.) A good number of folks out there were looking forward into having yet another breakthrough VOCALOID with new language capabilities... which makes me believe most of the people who are disappointed were not only let down by VoxWave's missed goals for her, but by the fact that the overal VOCALOID franchise is still in its "usual" place as opposed to taking advantage of experimenting and presenting new/fresh material. Usually it's a brand new language for the software that's taken as a sign that the technology has improved to the point that it can include more diversity and draw more potential interest in its usage.

(At least... this is how I see this so far. Personally, it's good to see ALYS isn't a completely abandoned project... but even I feel as if something that comes out of nowhere that's completely different from all the rest of the existing libraries in terms of language and voicetype would really drum up a level of excitement for fans overall, just like ALYS was doing. It helps get folks more actively engaged in what's going on, as well as also paves a potential path for more languages to make it into future versions of the software if all goes well.) :-)
