Do you feel that the interstellar (and possibly multi-universal) nature of the Nanoha setting did the franchise any favors? Keeping in mind the powers of personal flight, personal teleportation, and the power of the TSAB's ships to shuttle and teleport people between worlds.

A single planet is an extremely large place. A single continent is incredibly huge and capable of containing many different environments. One planet can have several continents and dozens upon dozens of nations.


Do you feel that the first two seasons could have all happened in the same dimension without seriously effecting the story?

More drastically, do you feel that essentially the same story could have been told all on the same planet? That is, with Al Hazard being a precursor, global civilization on Nanoha's world, with the Belkan Empire attempting to recreate that global control through warfare with other national powers.


Alternatively, how might the story have been served in a Kingdom Hearts type setting, where each dimension is just one single, tiny planet, orbitted by its own small sun and moon?

That is, dropping the "interstellar" entirely while keeping the "multi-universal".
