It made the war seem even more pointless than it already was. And for added nightmare fuel, Karl's son Victor would be of prime military age by that point. At least he isn't being raised in Germany. Anyways, he would be an ideal (tear inducing) sequel character. Either way, he's gonna get caught up in another war. Just like his father and his grandfather did. Why can't anything go right for these people?

It would definitely show the pointless slaughter did not end on November 11th 1918, rather, it was delayed for 20 more years, before it returned.

Also I find it interesting that the game ends with the Americans arriving in November of 1917, not November 11th 1918, interesting... Possible sequel hook? Probably not. I think it's more just hammering the point home that the game's true antagonist, the war itself, was still raging despite the immense sacrifices on both sides and that it would always be hungry for more lives. By the way, doesn't the fact World War I is not over mean that... certain people could still die? I mean, there is another year left, what is stopping it?

Speaking of WW2... was anyone else depressed at the end of Valiant Hearts when you realized that Europe was gonna go to hell again in 20 more years? I guess your right, its depressing, but made worse by the fact that what happened at the very end of World War I, directly led to the second, the treaty tore Germany apart, there was pretty much no army left, huge chucks were taken away unfairly, the economy fell apart, and all this lingering hate was a major reason for World War 2, depressing...

I didn't mention this, but there were other depressing moments beside the end, like when in the tunnels that German soldier saves you life, only to get horribly murdered by the French a little while later? Or how nice Walt's owner was, and how it let you keep him, and later gets hit my a shell saving both of them? Yeah, not happy, and who can forget crossing No Man's Land by using the body of your own friends as cover?

Maybe Anna's son could be part of this Army in exile?

Maybe Anna's son could be part of this Army in exile? True, very true, wait did she have a kid? I remember having a dad and no mother, was there other family? Also I like to think that the German general was responsible for some of the atrocity's in Belgum in 1914, they never say it, but it would make sense.

It would happen sometime after the game. Him being Anna's son wouldn't be integral to the plot, but something to call back to the previous game. It would be a nice change of pace to see anything about World War Two where the axis soldiers aren't all represented as literally hitler, but I doubt this sequel will happen.

Ah, I see, yeah it would be a very interesting idea, but this does not seem like a sequel, just like I doubt there is a Child of Light 2 coming.

Yeah, I like to think that was likely, he seemed like the type of guy, and I do like what happens at the end for him anyway, for a Prussian general, its pretty appropriate.

I got a idea, if they ever make DLC for this game, or make Valiant Hearts 2, the special edition should be called, Valiant Hearts, prepare to cry edition.

Hey guys, if you want a wonderful World War I documentary, I recommend The First World War, a 10 part 10 hour documentary from 2004, it talks about EVERYTHING, from all the causes of World War I, which is like an hour, from the Marne to the Armistice, and everything in between, from Africa to the Middle East, the war in the air and the sea and underground, from the Eastern to the Western Front, trust me, its fantastic.

Last thing to say, the greatest irony of World War I, was that Archduke Franz Ferdinand was anti military and had tried to stop several wars in the Balkans, and even said if he became the king, would try to be more friendly with Serbia, and his death is what sparked the beginning of one of the worst wars in history, and he hated war, gotta love historical irony.
