Not a day goes by where I don't think about the Layton spinoff with no voice acting where the localisation team went out of their way to make the protagonist northern

If I can't simul-release on TikTok and YouTube Shorts easily I might just go back to making landscape videos and put them on TikTok landscape because I hate editing portrait videos.

I feel insecure about the quality of my output as much as anyone but also it's guaranteed comedy when someone on social media gets so angry at you they resort to trashing your work because it's obvious they're being a forced hater to justify being mad.

Like, in another timeline it probably would have been nice to have "Megurine Luka SV2 Megacunt XLS" with 50 different sliders that all sound the same, but I like that vsynths now have multiple baskets for people to put their eggs in while this new frontier's being figured out.

And to this point - this is why I still weirdly respect Crypton as vsynth devs even if the overall quality of their output doesn't scale.
It means we're in a diverse industry where different companies are interpreting the AI boom with different strategies over differing paces.

Assuming that Miku V6 is a "plus bank" of sorts (AI bank that uses artificial data), it seems that between V6 and NT2, Crypton want to try a more unconventional approach to AI synthesis where AI plays a role but is not the entire crux of their output.

It is however an approach that seems to be drawn entirely from desire rather than commercial advantage, so will still be niche.
Regardless of what grievances users may have about AI being prominent, it appears to be the most optimal for developers, users and voice providers.

This combined with how Standard banks work in SVS2 gives me some amount of hope re: the market position of vocal types pre-AI.
Maybe someday we'll get a large expanse of commercial banks produced in different ways, with AI just being the umbrella that facilitates them.

What WILL be interesting is how XLS works with the bank and how it will stack up to Miku V3e and V4e.

Similar to when we saw a snippet of this demo a few months back, my stance is relatively unchanged.
Even if it's not a huge leap and could potentially sound inferior in places, it's what one would expect from a modern CFM voicebank, so I'm content.

I don't think I've ever had to pronounce it for a video but I'm working on the baseline assumption that E.V.E.C. is pronounced "Iy-vehk" and no one can stop me

I've gone on record before that more fans of game franchises should approach their recommendations less with "This is where you SHOULD start" and more "Assuming you're gonna play only one, play this one"
With that in mind, I wouldn't be mad if newcomers went straight to OUAK.
