Some interesting quotes from Itoi on the ending.
>Itoi For example, ones that would make you really wonder about the main characters when looking in from the outside.
>Itoi For the N64 version, I was thinking about alternately just not having any dialogue whatsoever for the final battle. I wanted to keep the scene even more vague, and just leave it entirely up to the imagination of the player.
>Itoi Like what happens when the dragon is revived, and whether there was any hope left... it was kind of halfway explained in the ending. This time, too, shares that feeling of doubt about whether there really was hope or not, but everyone seems to be pretty unconcerned in the end. It's a sort of expression of human strength, this time, so it's more positive than the N64 version.
>Itoi Indeed, what would have happened if Claus had pulled it out? I'm sure the same thing would have happened, except that in the end, everything--even the breath of life itself--would go extinct. Even the dragon, too

Personally what I think could've happened was Lucas would have been so overcome with grief that he would pass on evil to the dark dragon and destroy the the world himself.

Another idea is that the game simply ended at the final cutscene, no dialogue from the characters about them being fine.
