I think with Subaru it would have been good to show flashbacks of Nanoha saving Subaru, and then have some Ova or whatever to show Subaru's ambitions and how she progressed to the point where she could see Nanoha again. Teana can follow the same path to be a enforcer but for a different reason.

Only a few one-shot Ova's. You would think there be enough fans of each characters to profit enough to atleast break even. And it would have left StrikerS with many more possibilities at that point.

Apparently we were watching two different series then. The characters of Erio and Caro were important to the plot of the StrikerS TV series as well as the development of various new and returning characters. In the series that were the primary rivals to Lutecia and to her development for breaking free from Jail's control.
Also they were crucial in expanding upon the character Fate's social development between A's and MC077. They provided a look into how Fate grew and how her past affected her outlook on life and the lives of those around her. Not only that but they prove to be a key factor in her final fight against Jail, providing her with the needed support to overcome her own inner demons to defeat her opponents. I would hardly call them not important. |

Which would not be quite possible when you have both of them fighting for their own lives at their very best. Given the mental state of Vivio during the encounter I doubt she would have given Nanoha any time to communicate with Fate during that crucial moment when she was restrained by Jail. Not to mention the internal defense systems of the Cradle made external communications impossible. |

If you want to give them an advantage, then yes. Open spaces is where they excel at. However, Jail is a villain. He is a crazy, but smart one and knows this. If you want to win you use whatever you have to your advantage. Even more so that he is evil and can be sneaky and underhanded in what he chooses to do. In this case he manages to lure them to enclose areas that is HIS home turf in order to take them out and keep them from ruining his grand plans. Also not having the Vivio/Nanoha final fight inside the Cradle would go against the build up and background given in the series. As Vivio is, in a sense, the key to operate the Cradle having her in a non-secure location outside of the Cradle would mean the Cradle would not be operational and thus against Jail's plan. Plus for designers of the Cradle to make the 'throne' outside rather then deep within for the 'key' to sit would be...well stupid.

Here's the dealio. Here's why Nanoha and Fate needed to have their separate scenes in the end. If Fate had been there Nanoha's arc would have been absolutely useless. Nanoha's story in StrikerS is not about making a happy family it's about going from being person-who-looks-after-Vivio to becoming "Mama". The scene is the climax of her character arc and if Fate had been there to support her it would have lost all power, Nanoha wouldn't have learned anything but to rely on Fate for all mothering. When push comes to shove it is Nanoha who is Vivio's mother, not Fate (whether Fate is also a parent is an entirely other fact that has been debated many times (though she definitely does not have the same relationship in StrikerS with Vivio as Nanoha does arcwise) and I am not getting into).
Things wouldn't have worked in a different scenario. If Erio and Caro hadn't existed then Fate wouldn't know how to be a mother. If Fate didn't know how to be a mother she wouldn't be able to act as example/contrast mama for Nanoha and Nanoha would have lost the necessary character development and happy family wouldn't be able to exist. Erio and Caro are needed for Fate to develop into the character she is. Her niece and nephew wouldn't have worked, she needed her own kids in order to gain the knowledge and experience to help Nanoha with Vivio. |
