Yeah and the early JRPG' S were japans take on early CRPG's and Dungeons and Dragons.
Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, Dragon Slayer, Xanadu were mostly grind heavy dungeon crawlers.

Cause the earliest CRPGS were grind heavy dungeons crawlers too, ( for the most part ) took a while for jrpgs to get their own identity.

Took around till FF4 or so.

No no. it doesn't JRPG is a genre definition not the country of origin
Most console rpgs were jrpgs untill the sprawling open world of the likes of Morrowind* started becoming feasible on consoles.

the trappings of JRPGS tend to be :
grinding,
random encounters,
more grinding,
overwrought straight jacketed story,
usually lots of cut scenes,
very linear,
anime art direction,
more grinding.

( * early Crpgs ie computer, RPGS tended to be grind heavy as well, but were usually dungeon crawlers.)

That's as maybe but you should have said something to the effect in your original post.
Because most countries, most other posters are from, myself included ( the West ) are not bootleg free for alls.
When we talk about mods we tend to mean either mods for pc games or projects like this.

There is piracy here for sure. There is piracy everywhere, but it's not so bad that you can buy a pirated modded game in the shops.

Just because YOU had a single unfortunate incident with a modded game, doesn't mean all modded games are like that

Not too mention that this is a demake of Mario Sunshine.
A lot of modders manage to do amazing things, solely because of their love for the medium or a game.

From the Metroid 2 remake, ( AMR 2 ) to recreating Vice City in GTA 5 to recreating Tomb Raider 2 in the unity engine from the ground up. To recreating the entirety of Morrowind or Daggerfal in the Oblivion of Skyrim engines as mods.

And that's just the ones from the top off my head.
It's disingenuous, not too mention selfish and myopic to discount all the great mods out there, just cause you happened to come across one you didn't like years ago.

I'm a huge Transformers fan.
And even as a fan I soured pretty quickly on the bayformers series.
Especially when it became evident, that each movie was even more stupid unfunny and insipid then the previous one. Until Bumblebee came along and that's because Bay doesn't have his finger prints all over it.

Point being ?
Even if fans are getting what they want ( or don't want but the mainstream "loves"it ) the movies aren't necessarily good.
