Is it impossible to finish the last quest in Ashen?

I just finished the last quest, got the credits, quit out of them by holding B, and quit the game. Then I thought maybe there would be some interesting changes to the world, so I loaded it back up and clicked "Continue" on the main screen. Now I'm back in Vagrant's Rest, but the only thing that's changed is my scoria count. No spoilers, but I had expected at least the main quest to be marked as finished, but the quest and marker were still there. Is this normal?

It's to allow players to go back and explore if they want of complete any quests they might not have finished yet
