When I first saw FEE I just assumed she was a new Yuzuki Yukari variant from the way she looked. I'm surprised they went with such a similar-looking design.

Idk why, but I find all of this kinda funny though
I expected nothing honestly, but I guess its better than literally nothing. They got feedback, they took that feedback, and changed it, I guess. Alright. Cool.
But, she's still made for the R18 market, right? They're just aren't "in-your-face" about it anymore...
I'm not against R18 content(only the really bad stuff I'm against, of course), I'm just putting that out there, but they're just hiding the R18 intention of her now, like nothing ever happened. LOL
That's hilarious!
If I were to be honest, they should just cancel her development at this point. She already looks bad by a lot of people, and I don't think that many people would want to buy her bank. Maybe I'm wrong.
Another thing, why CeVIO of all things? I don't hate CevIO, but why them? What screams "R18" to make them choose to create her voicebank on it?
I don't think Fee will be a smash success, but it won't be because of her problematic aspects. Assuming most people don't look into the history of a character before buying them based solely on design or voice, lots of talk synth fans will buy her just on the basis of her being a cute girl, or they're CeVIO fans looking to expand their collection. There's rampant problematic content with the underaged characters that already exist, so much so that you'll have a harder time not running into something bad when you're just innocently looking through a tag. It's a huge problem in this community - they won't care at all about Fee's original concept (or worse, they'd be fans of it).
That being said though... she already looks a lot like Yukari, and I've seen a couple of Japanese tweets point that out too. Why buy/use Fee if Yukari, who is much more popular and almost everyone already owns her, exists? That's really the one thing I can think of that could turn people off of her aside from her original concept. But the reason I don't think she'll be popular is more because the talk synth community already has its favorite characters - Yukari, Akari, Maki, Kotonohas, Kiritan, Una. Just being a cute girl, especially one without a VOICEROID label, isn't enough to cut it anymore.
I don't think CeVIO was chosen just because they felt it was an R-18 synth or fitting for one. The only other commercial TTS out there now is A.I.VOICE (and to a lesser extent Coefont but I feel like people tend to see that as "TTS UTAU but you pay to make your own bank"), and that doesn't have nearly the same kind of brand recognition that CeVIO or especially VOICEROID (which they can't use because that line has been discontinued) have. It's probably just because it's the most popular Japanese TTS out there right now.

I sometimes keep forgetting that Yukari exist lol
But yeah, she does seem very similar to her, and there really isn't a reason for another one. Yukari(and Akari) is really popular, and I do only see FEE being favored by collectors for the most part.
I also forgot that CeVIO has TTS and not only music vocals, I thought they're were making a voicebank for music.
kinda off topic?: Isn't Coefont paid to use as well? because I remember visiting the website and its only free for a month.
Yes, you have to pay to use Coefont as well. I more likened it to UTAU since you can easily create your own relatively quickly without paying thousands for a license to a major company or anything, though I know it wasn't the best comparison ever, ahah.
The Cevio vb sounds like my guy friend who I made to voice Solaria in my joke project.
That's... certainly a voice. My first thought was she sounded like a Voidol output with considerably less noise, and that's still not a good thing.
Genuinely don't know who is going to buy this product.

I wasn't planning to check on the Fee thread again after all the drama surrounding her, but her voice is definitely... Erm... Not what I expected, but at the same time, exactly what I expected a fetish character to sound like? I dunno how else to explain it, but it still caught me off guard.
Well aside from the Voidol-level quality...she's just....badly voice acted 
I think that's so off putting about the voice.

I thought her voice was gonna be a bit deeper, apparently not. She sounds like a little kid to me jfsdbfjka
She is sounding very muffled (like I can't even pick up what she's talking about and not only because of language barrier =S ) and yeah it doesn't help with her """"past""""
Also OMG that Nyan! Neko sugar girls# -like anime is top
Ironically higher-quazlity than Fee's talking

When I heard all that stuff about her getting marketed towards R18 content I thought it was just for the character side. But, to be honest, I don't get a single thing now. The Cevio just sounds bad, aside from the wide-known fact of cevio's inherent noise, this one is just low quality in my little opinion. orz
Oof. Ok voice, but she does sound like a smoother VOIDOL, as @Rylitah pointed out. Maybe she is in a very early stage of production
Nuh-uh she's getting released in a monthMaybe she is in a very early stage of production
I'm glad that, in these times of turmoil within our fandom, we can at least unite over our universal disappointment in Fee.
It's really funny comparing this to her actual Voidol, which actually sounds better tonally in my opinion.
I can definitely hear how she got the way she did, hearing the raw sample from her voice provider, but.... I think the fuzzy quality of CeVIO with her already whispery voice just don't play well together - the other CeVIO vocals we have are pretty energetic in tone.

She sounds ok going off from what I remember from the character her VP voices in Cinderella Girls. Accurate enough. Not a fan at all tho and she's still extremely cursed. Lol
It looks like like Techno-Speech has sold smt that looks like a Fee physical version at their booth at FeSTA 7 along with some other merch. The price tags are blurry, but the prices seem to be 11890 yen and 20690 yen. It’s likely a standalone version and a starter pack or smt. I wonder if it will be sold publicly?
Fee's Twitter account once held polls asking if people were interested in physical copies and a Song Voice. Maybe they're going through with those
