He does. But none of the people he meets there are even "real" people (the ones Ark knew from before were just made out of crystal blue like he is, so it's debatable if they ever were "real" people; anyway, those are gone when you reach crysta. They turn into souls/glowing orbs when you talk to any of them upon your return, and crysta is empty right after Arks defeats Dark Gaia. Only when Light Gaia tells you she grants you one last happy time do they return. It's all fake, if not an outright illusion.
Not even Elle is alive at that point, the one you meet in the dream is just that, a dream. She sacrificed herself earlier, after all. How does she talk to you at the very end when Ark goes to sleep, you ask? The same way Meilin's mother talked to Meilin while being in the process of reincarnation. I think only that bit at the end is the real Elle talking, and the one you meet in Ark's last day is fake.
As for the file name, I always left it at "Ark". In fact, I chose Ark as a name for other games with protagonists that can be named after playing Terranigma.
