To be fair though, every Rider belt does that to a degree, Heisei belts even more so.

The difference here is that the Ghost Driver is simple: you get one or two noises per form and activation wheres the Drive Driver made noise every time you activated the thing.

Sounds? Well yeah, but...

The Showa Riders only have their iconic "wush" followed by a role-call, early Heisei Rider have nothing but short sounds, Ryuki started naming forms/attacks, and following that we mostly had short jingles and the form + finisher name.

The whole "name everything and sing stupid songs about it"-thing nly started recently, with Wizard I think, who's Driver was very annoying.

Drive is almost a little bit more classy since he has the name and jingle-thing again, but not as long and voluminous as Gaim. But Gaim was more of a role-call + form name mix than everything, and I like it there.

I think Ghost goes more into the Wizard-category than anything and I don't like it so far.

Okay yeah, the whole switching the Shift Cars thing (Spe-Spe-Speed!) is not there yet, since Ghost has no gimmick-items like the Shift Cars or different Astro Switches.

Which I'm very thankful for by the way, I hate these mini-form changes that serve as Deus Ex Machina-power ups.

Still... this Driver does so much annoying stuff. But hey, looking back at Wizard (or Drive) I could live with the whole sound-thingy so maybe I can do so with Ghost too.

The sining Belt started with OOO. Double only had the Form name and a short Jingle. So yeah OOO is to blame for this trend

[Kiwami]

Oh yeah OOO. I probably didn’t think about that because it's good. But that one isn’t singing for standby either... it's just sing the form-name. With cool sounds and melodies.

[ElConvoy]

I like them too. But I think thats where it all started in terms of going crazy with the jingles. The OOO line was very successfull in terms of sales so Bandai is probably looking at the toys and thinking "The Belt sings so thats what Kids must have liked about it." so they try to give the Belts even more sounds in the lines that followed it.

I do hope the Eyecons are NOT from space...but I am surprised that both the eyecons and jackets are two different things. Edison and Mushashi I know I will want as figures...alas I see Edison becoming the "Magnet States" of the show. After that, it has a ton of potential!

Wouldnt Edison technically be Elek States since it has electricity powers?

I think Starscreamer meant "Magnet States in how it's used in combat/how often it's used in combat."

Well, "Eye" personally would love to see that.
