Cause in the Seabed levels you can see Ecco the dolphin. And on Pioneer 2 the surface looks like Africa.

Nah, I doubt it.
Chances are that you'll get a pile of Phantasy Star theorists in here soon to give really specific reasons, but I'd say the dolphin is just a coincidence. I don't think it'd really fit in the storyline well, though PSO already has a bunch of things that make it difficult to place.

Who said that there can't be dolphin-like creatures on other planets? Or that other planets can't have continents shaped like Africa?

Well CCA looks like Earth but the other places doesn't, i wouldn't say it's Earth, but looks like a lot, it should, right!?!?

Short Answer: No.

Not to mention that Sonic Team tends to recycle ideas, so influences from the real world are probably going to show up in PSO.

Yeah but watch a future quest will have the client a cabbie from Crazy Taxi.

It is kind of odd when you think about it. Doesn't the name for the music track when you fight the dragon have something to do with Earth? I think the music in the forest does as well.

Ragol is not Earth. Part of the storyline of PSO is that the people were looking for a new planet to settle on, the setting of PSO is the time when Earth can no longer sustain life.

No, Coral can't sustain life, common mistake http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

On "From the Depths," the tremors are referred to as earthquakes. I think Ragol is just some Earth look-a-like. It has a continent shape like Africa, you can even see the Saudi Arabian peninsula.

Then again, the Pioneer people might be related to the guys who blew up Palma http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif.

"Earthquakes" is a common word, and most people will likely refer to the same phenomenon elsewhere also as an earthquake.
For another example of the usage of 'Earth', at one point in PSIV, a character uses the phrase "What on Earth" Rather odd to be asking about Earth on Motavia, isn't it?
Imagine it like this: The people of PSO do not speak English. They speak whatever language/languages are native to their home planet, Coral. "Earthquakes" is merely a translation of what would actually be said in -their- tongue, kept to a normal English word for the sake of clarity. Much like the character in PSIV. They wouldn't have actually said 'Earth', but for the sake of clarity to the player, it's presented as such.
You know, it never looked like Earth at all to me, outside of being your stereotypical blue-green M-class planet. O_o;
The dolphin...
Oh! So that's where the dolphins went! XD Now we know! Thanks, ST! Now, if we can just find that question...

Earth doesn't just mean our planet. It means ground or soil, or any other things like that.

if i remember a while ago on ver.2, some people figured out that the continents on Ragol when viewed from the hunter's guild was earth's map flipped upside down and turned backwards or something.

Earth is the name of our planet. If there were beings on Mars that used the word Mars for their soil... we here on Earth wouldn't refer to our soil as Mars too...ground or soil is referred to as "earth" because it's part of the planet, the planet being named Earth.

Ragol is not Earth. If it was, you would see ruins all over the place of an advanced civilization on the entire planet.
In Phantasy Star 2, Earthmen left the Sol star system to the Algol star system because they had destroyed Earth and were searching for a new home. They attempted to take control of Algol and failed.
It is feasible that Earth's ecosystem might have recovered over two millenia, but again, the lack of ruins says otherwise. And I am not talking about the spaceship ruins in Episode I, either.

Maybe, but do you know for sure that people on Mars will call tremors 'Earthquakes'?
BESIDES PEOPLE, STOP TRYING TO MAKE SENSE OF EVERYTHING AND RELATING IT TO REAL LIFE!
As the saying goes, 'It's just a game!'
In Starfox 64's Lylat System, a whole new solar system, Falco uses the term 'Hey EINSTEIN that was mine' or something like that. Falco said Einstein, and Albert Einstein couldn't have been in Corneria could he? I think not.
