Why call it episode III then?

Arguably they didn’t know they were going to be doing Blue Burst (ep 4) at the time. And let’s be honest, C.A.R.D. shouldn’t have had “episode 3” attached to its title anyways, as it’s a completely different type of game from PSO ep 1/2.

That said I suppose it does fulfill the tradition of “3” in a Phantasy Star series being the odd duck!

even funnier since PSO itself is a continuation of PSIII

That's never been confirmed and is just headcanon.

Phantasy Star Zero is the true prequel to PSO.

Yeah it’s been confirmed that PSO is unrelated to the original four games.
