Yeah, considering how much I usually love JRPGs, particularly older ones, that sounds like a great use of money... 
I mean, the only traditional-style JRPGs I've ever actually finished are Lunar Legend and Skies of Arcadia Legends. I guess if you add action-RPGs, dungeon crawlers, etc you could add a few more (Etrian Odyssey, Illusion of Gaia, various Zelda games, Final Fantasy Adventure, Tales of Symphonia, Phantasy Star Online Ep. 1), but not too many. Oh, and I did finish the N64 Paper Mario, if that counts as one.
As for Earthbound, I've heard the NES game is hard and grindey. Sounds exactly like the kind of JRPG I most dislike. The SNES one... eh, I don't know, I've never been interested enough to try it out, really...
