I'm loving the designs. I recall when we got the first look at Saber it was giving a heavy Build or W vibe due to the Red/black. but since we really couldn't see much of his body in detail- the Brave Jack and Brave Peter forms or w/e they are called were just way to small.

Now that we get the full look at the suit I'm loving how much it makes me think of Cyclone Joker Extreme in the color distribution aspect. Color 1, White, Color 2.

I also like how the books do seem to have a book feel. I was honestly just expecting a lame clamshell type set up. Slot book in remove blade, book opens revealing face and such. The fact that they do have that middle page is a NICE level of detail that makes them feel more like a book. Also the fact that they show off the parts they modify give a very Gaim Ride Indicator feel. I'm not sure if the books will have sounds- like the Progrise keys and such. or if they will be more like full bottles and simply have teeth on the back that trigger sounds in the driver. But honestly since i know i won't ever have the money to get myself one- unless some miracle occurs one friend of mine in particualr decides to shell out a large amount of money on me again( it could happen he got me a PS4 and a switch lite so far in the past 4 years or so at least a driver is relatively cheaper)

I'm not quite feeling Blaze's design as much as I am Saber- especially saber's jack and the beanstalk form. but maybe thats becasue i just feel he needs a tertiary color. Brave dragon felt nice and balanced with the red white and black. While Blaze is like BLUE Blue more blue, on top of black with a TINY bit of white. I'm sure once we see it in action i'll prolly warm up to it, i don't hate it just not feeling it all that much. At least until we get his hopeful form change I do wonder will he go Mythical+Normal
Or Normal+fairy tale. I mean i kinda expect him to go Mythical as his form modifiers. So like maybe give him a thunderbird or something for his first form change so he gets a griffon like feel. Combining Thunderbird right arm /head bit with Lion chest.

I fully expect the mid season power up for Saber to utilize all 3 slots, I view the Zero One set as a teaser of sorts for mid season power up. since it just makes so much sense in that regards. We know his basic form changes will be Dragon+ fairy tale. We know you can use all 3 book types together thanks to the zero one mash up. so why not throw in a middle slot book to complete the deal while i have no clue what off the top of my head I do feel that might be the way.

ANd maybe some weird ass centerfold typething for penultimate/ultimate form. One that slots into the middle but opens up tot he left and right maybe a scroll design, or some sort of Mural. Could also just slot into the right or left most slot FLip open lock into the middle slot and flip open a second time. Like maybe an insanely powerful book that had to be wrapped in some special material to contain the powercould be the explanation for sucha unique book. But once fully opened it'd show some mural depicting a whole new looking form rather than just an arm, or just the head/chest.

Also I'm not quite feeling the idea of a 3rd Fairy tale rider using he same belt setup. While it would make perfect sense at the same time the way its set up it just seems like it wouldn't work.

To clarify I should of said Panels not slots. Since it is like those mural pictures that used to be popular you know the multiple paintings that when lined up created a mural of sorts, orthose large comic panel spreads that while TECHNICALLY individual panels also serve to fill 1 single image if placed together.

We have 3 slots but 4 PANEL zones

Panels corrospond to the Right arm/side, Head, Left arm/side, and I guess extra space.

Slot 1 is the right most and head panels
Slot 2 covers the Head and Left arm panels
While slot 3 covers the left arm and "extra" panels

This was clearly done to allow one to mix and match books. But this also means unless the 3rd rider can't really be Base form fairy tale UNLESS his book is special in some form.

This could be a penultimate/ultimate style trinket that takes up multiple slots (think stuff like the genius full bottle) so that his book could slot into the Fairy tale slot, BE a fairy tale book AND yet at the same time cover a full mural so it becomes incompatible with others.

This could be done as some weird 2 in one thing. where it can open the normal way to reveal the standard Left arm and "extra" panels. OR be flipped backwards and opened to reveal 3rd rider's head and arm using the same 2 panel slots.

3rd possibliy is to have some sort of adapter like Cross-Z and the like where the book can function on its own to give the fairy tale arm, BUt with the adapter in place it also can fill in the rest of the design(or at least the head)
