It is, according to Quintet themselves.

Kouji Yokota talks about this and explicitly mentions that Terranigma is different from the games that do show connections between them. Relevant to what >>4718530 claims, the connections actually start from ActRaiser, which is something quite obvious. The whole "trilogy" nonsense is based on beta names and HG101's wishful thinking.

This is exactly what the game conveys. If anything, he may return as a bird (a stork, which is a heavy symbol throughout the entire story). It is a story of self sacrifice, through which Dark Ark, who was created to do evil, refutes his destiny, earns his soul and becomes a "god" (as Yomi says). I think this is what allows him to return at the end in whatever capacity he does, he earns his place in the world he built.

"Muh blazer" is not an adequate explanation for Ark being alive when the game literally says that he will be dying at the end.
