The first one says that the Saint's Armor is Vivio's ability, not the Cradle's, and that was one major element in giving her that level of power.

That is indeed a factor we have been wondering about. How are they going to scale a powerful ability like that? I'm curious how Vivid is going to do so.

The effect of Sacred Cluster clearly show that it wasn't just limitless, but also empowering.

Again, maybe my hope is blinding me, but I'd be really surprised and dissappointed if Vivio was weak, and in five years of products, Nanoha (the series)has only dissapointed me once. That's a good track record.

I'm pretty darn sure that, being the main character and being placed among other high-ranked mages (because Ginga and her sisters are
hardly weak) means that she's not some D-rank nobody. Whether or not her powers rival her mothers, though, that is still up for debate.

DVD booklets. These are one of the few translated, I really want to get them all translated but I know zero written Japanese, and no translators are motivated enough to translate that mountain of text, so it's been kind of hard to get started.
