It's long and rambly of course, but there is actually some real research done and there are a few interesting anecdotes about Earthbound, how it was designed, the authors' theories of what it's about and about Earthbound's designer, Shigesato Itoi. It is possibly worth skimming.
His MOTHER 3 review is more relevant (and without spoilers): http://www.actionbutton.net/?p=422#more-422
I agree with sp0rsk when he says this is the best JRPG ever. If not, it at least is the most streamlined and polished JRPG up to date. There's absolutely nothing I think I could remove (or add) to make this game better. It is that good.
My favourite JRPG and third favourite game of all time. You MOTHER 3 virgins are in for a treat.
