Yeah, John... I know.
It had long before been known to stellar cartographers as a major feature in the constelation Perseus, located in the gorgon's head. In fact, Algol is actually an arabic name (al-gh?l) meaning "Head of the Ghul", or "Head of the Gorgon". Algol has also been known to be called "The Devil's Star" (Rosh ha Sitan from Hebrew meaning "Satan's Head") - which may explain why Rieko Kodama chose that as the name for the solar system in Phantasy Star.I agree... Ragol is not Earth. Though you can't say that the Alisa III never went to earth - because in one of the four endings to PSIII it DID happen. In another ending, the Alisa III meets up with the Neo-Palm and the two ships continue their journey together. In two of the endings, the Alisa III lands on a planet - one of which bears a striking resemblance to Ragol.Otherwise, I agree with the OP that the Alissa III never went to Earth as Ragol =/= Earth.
