I mean. People talk about how un-creative the way the Driver opening is, but really, nothing like it has ever been done before. It had to happen eventually. :p

I think it would have been more interesting if it opened the other way around--like if you were pulling up the sheet to put in the eye or something? As opposed to just popping it open from the top. That would have probably been really cumbersome to work with though.

I'm pretty sure it is the way it is mostly to properly facilitate the "eye rolling" motion that happens when you press the lever. The Eyecons certainly don't perform that on their own.

By the way, was it said anywhere what the standby jingle actually says/means? I've seen all the Henshin jingles understood and translated, but have yet to learn the meaning of the standby. Speaking of which, I have to say I'm really loving the Ore henshin tune the more I listen to it.

"KAIGAN! ~OOORE! LET'S GO, KAKUGO! Go-Go-Go-GHOSTO! (Go! Go! Go! Go!)"

Yeah it's loud and obnoxious, but I'm not sure it's potentially silly enough to completely ruin the mood like "PLEASE!", "CHOINE, SAIKOOOOO!", "SHOOBADOOBIE", or "LUPACHI MAGIC."

I kinda wish they made the Ghost driver sound like the Genesis driver....it just feels much more right

To me it still looks like someone put clear plastic on top of the Decadriver :p

I said it a few times already, but I too think that the Ghost Driver is one of the ugliest belts I've ever seen.

And I think for the most part that's because of this stupid blanket. I get it, ghosts and all, still looks like shit. This belt needs color and more details. Rip this stupid blanket off, paint the face underneath, make the belt so that the Eyecon is inserted through the mouth. That would be super spooky and awesome.

Like, you have a hinged jaw, the eye is closed, you give the belt the Eyecon to eat, and when you close the mouth the standby music plays and when you pull the lever, the eye opens up.

But as it stands this belt is a huge disappointment.

Yeah... I would wait until I've seen the show to say that, because I can see these sounds being at the same disturbing level of obnoxiousness as the Wizard ones.

Wizard Driver sounds vs Ghost Driver sounds (based off of what we have now)?

According to ElConvoy, it's a pun.

My point is that while they're still potentially annoying, most of them are neutral phrases instead of random silly gibberish or completely out of place "Please!" and "SAIKOOOO!" sounds interrupting dramatic moments like the Wizardriver.

Ah! I think I saw that and then just immediately forgot it. Thanks!

And how is the whole "Bacchariminna" that won't shut up or the "Go-Go-Go-Ghosto!" not silly and random? Because it's ghost-related somehow? Well, the whole "Open your eyes"-thing is related to the belt, as are Wizard's "Please" and "Saiko", because the belt is just so damn polite.

And you're kidding yourself if you think those sounds won't fuck up a dramatic scene like Wizard's sounds do. They totally will, unless they shut them up for good in those moments.

The problem I have with Ghosts sounds is that they have no rhythm that I like and overall no appeal to me. The few that I heard so far, to be fair. While OOO and Gaim have these stupid names and stuff, it's the melodies and the way they are performed that make them highly enjoyable.

With Ghost I get the feeling it's Wizard 2.0. Especially the "Bacchariminna"-loop, I hate shit like that.
