* GrandFinale: The game serves as the conclusion of Ichiro Ogami's story arc that started with [[VideoGame/SakuraWars1996 the original 1996 game]]. What's more, as [[VideoGame/SakuraWarsSoLongMyLove the next game]] takes place in New York City and [[VideoGame/SakuraWars2019 the 2019 game]] is set in 1940, it was the final mainline entry involving the original Imperial Combat Revue.

* BittersweetEnding: The ''Mikasa'' is destroyed once again, the Rose and Wind Divisions have to retire and [[ButNowIMustGo the Combat Revues go their separate ways]] after four years with Ogami and the Imperial Combat Revue. But thanks to their efforts, the Imperial and Paris Combat Revues have exorcized Nagayasu's spirit, perform a successful adaptation of ''Les Misérables'' and all is well in Tokyo once more. Sadly, ''VideoGame/SakuraWars2019'' establishes that three years after ''Fall in Love, Maidens'', both revues, as well as the New York Combat Revue, sealed themselves towards the end of the Great Demon War.
