From what was said in regards to Gumi, there is a lot of redundant phonetic data that has been kept over from the V1 era. These things I expect will be improved over time, this already happened in V2 era late end with VY1 and VY2. What we have is enough to produce what we need but improvements need to be made. This is why they released a dictionary for Gumi that metaphorically "fixed" some of Gumi's problems.

Another issue is that the English version uses a mix of American and British phonetic layouts, rather then one over the other as what is normal for English syns (due to the difference in the way the two accents are). I'd like to know as well the bigger impact triphones had on English, this is because we've already witnessed one person claim Engloids don't have triphones. This I proved incorrect and that they can have them (Kaito English has them). Its all kinda of bizarre at times how statements like this can led to a significant oversight on the capabilities of what they current DO have to offer.

When you consider even the Japanese Vocaloids aren't perfect though, and that theres not 3 new languages that need more development... I'm hoping Yamaha doesn't play too much favoritism in the long run. I know the Japanese version has been worked on a lot... But there is potential to loose interest in a version of the software resulting in it not selling at all if they dont' at least show some interest.

All this reminds me of how Korean and Spanish Vocaloids have gone done... :-(

I hope for new languages also so those two are a low hope point for me in Vocaloid expanding. T_T
