I've been searching for the 100% map of the world for Ragol for a while. But you only get small glimpses of it when selecting a stage to play on, I don't have the game myself but I was always interested in the map of the world of Ragol and only PSO episode 3 has a true map to look at. If anyone knows where I could find the full map I would appreciate it I've been searching since the beginning of the PSO series to no avail.
Okay, so firstly, I'll clearly state that I was NOT able to find anything useful for you.Quote:

There is no "world map" picture in the "Phantasy Star Online Episode III C.A.R.D. Revolution Visual Book".
That "Visual Book" has art from both Episode III on one side, and then art from Episode IV on the other side.
There is no "world map" picture on the Episode IV side either.
Here's a link to SEGA Retro with a PDF of the book:

SEGA Retro also indicates that there are other Japanese guide-books, but they don't provide PDFs to check for a "world map".

While it's possible that a screenshot could feature a partial map image, these books probably lack any exclusive artwork of the theoretical "complete world map".
They DO have a PDF for the American guide-book though:

But again, even if I missed a partial screen-shot, there's probably no "complete world map" of Ragol in those 151 pages, either.

"The Book of Hunters" and "PSO - Episode 1 & 2 Materials" also lack any "world map" picture.

Soooooooo, while none of these provide what you are looking for.... perhaps this post atleast helps you know what official supplemental material not to waste your time or resources on?
Beyond that, I do have one final thought:
Perhaps the reason that Sonic Team obscured Ragol's world map, is so that there wouldn't be "future inconsistencies" if they decided to revisit certain topographies in potential expansions.
In addition, the story-incidents in Episode I and II were both isolated to very small areas of land, where players ultimately delve more vertically underground or underwater, instead of spanning across a wide surface horizontally.
Which permitted the game-designers to leave a huge portion of Planet Ragol as a blank slate.
Having said all that:
may this post give you some peace-of-mind, even if no official map was ever published, and that your quest can conclude.
This is a late reply (and also a repost, PSO-World attachments are weird), so I suspect you may never see this, but please find below the Ragol world map and the Ragol globe taken directly from the in-game textures:Quote:
