@ihavenoideawhatsoever, the English fans were tricked, well not exactly, but they were lead to believe something they weren't from the surveys days. Of course their peeved a tad bit. This will die down with time, but right now, the wound is sore and disappointment high.

Heck, I've gone on for years about Vocaloid2 myths bringing down English vocaloids, these things happen because people react as they hear the news. And as I said, its still fresh news so people are still reacting. In a years time, its no longer "news" and therefore the horse is surely dead.

I too get tired of the old dead horse routine, as I find myself saying things I started saying 8 years ago in the Vocaloid fandom. he only difference now is I'm more researched and know a bit more on the subject, but the comments the fans say are still the same ignorant, bias and ill-researched myths they said in 2009. In the same light, people still hark on about 2D Sonic the Hedgehog being "the best" way of representing Sonic, or that Sonic '06 was the worst Sonic game (its not even that).

Think about this; how many fans are still discussing the Kagamine relationship thin in 2018, when the rest of us are sick of hearing it? Above all other discussions one could have, this one is one of the tiring.

You just have to get used to the fans, until they move onto something else to be disappointed with, IA English on CeVIO is going to be the current thing. As I said... We were sort of tricked over it. We voted in a survey that asked if we wanted an Englsh version, but left out all the details. Everyone voting voted on ignorance, ignorance 1st Place kept them purposely in because they likely knew no one had overseas heard of CeVIO. They want us to treat IA as a anime character, not as a vocaloid character basically. That's not how it works, as some fans are die hard loyal to Vocaloid and won't get aboard other synths even when they know about it. UTAU is one of the few lucky ones. They seemed to have treated English fans as "its an anime character, they'll buy it" and not "their Vocaloid fan, they'll buy it".

I'm not saying they intended ill... But they choose their words and how to play this carefully, everyone was in the dark. I don't know how things will play out, but so few overseas are using CeVIO... Eh... This could be another "made for Japanese producers" voicebank so... We're not even the intended target perhaps, despite the survey. I'd say its a BS move, but CFM already pulled the same stunt with English in 2009... They hyped up Miku English when the idea was to make Miku English for Japanese producers to break into the west, not for English vocaloid producers to get into Vocaloid... So... Whatever, its a heartache and a grumble moment for the moment... We'll find something new to grumble of in about 6 months time.

At this rate... Maybe V5, since honestly... I wouldn't be surprised at this rate if V5 ends up not much of a big leap as we all want. :-?
