Massive Prince of Persia spoiler alert!
That's what makes it so awesome. What's the point of saving the world if there's nothing in the world to live for? All the people left the place, so basically it came down to what is the most important, the land (with the people gone) or the life of your love? I love how we are not given a choice and how we are not shown a cinematic but that's it's actually hard work to destroy everything that you worked towards during the game. The prince (if he is a prince) would rather risk everything to save his love than to lose her forever. It ends in hope, because all is not lost.
Actually I googled it and sure enough, someone said it better than what I can: http://tangletowngames.livejournal.com/33061.html
