Were there plans to have more than the game already had?

But that's not what happens. It's quite explicit that Galuf and the other Dawn Warriors assist you in escaping the void from the afterlife, the same way they do before the final battle. It's very much in line with the game's theme—family going above and beyond to protect their children and ensure their future, to the point that the concept of "family" becomes a deus ex machina in and of itself. It's sort of the whole point of the game, really.
