His one octave range is also a huge joke.

Its the same range his V1 had more or less. The only reason he was good in V1 is the amount of "give" V1 had, it allowed vocals to be more flexible. But the reality was the vocal covered only a limited range. The engine was basically crap, all vocals using it were crap sounding, therefore it was so easy to abuse the engine since you didn't need to get super results like later engines.

V1 didn't work the same way as later versions thus, there is this as well, you can't expect V3 to work the same way as V1.

Also unlike V1, V3's Kaito and Meiko are more voice acted or forced to get the same tone, whereas V1 was always a lot rougher on the vocals. There is also an issue with CFM heavily editing the samples to the point where I started arguing this is the big issue with CFM related vocaloids; their almost too edited.

I feel the same way with VY1v4 "normal". It feels too clean. :-/
