Author's Note: Greetings to all of my fans. I realize that it has been a while since I posted an update on Syopa Cusatyo and I would like to apologize to all of the people who have followed, favorited and read this story. It actually surprises me that so many people have found enjoyment with this tale, which makes what I have to say quite a bit harder to do.
As I last posted in the summary I was in the middle of moving into an apartment and it was about 2 days later my PC was packed up. However, life seems to love throwing curve balls and the one it threw me was rather painful. I had practically everything, but my clothes packed up and was scheduled to move within a week, BUT the guy that I was supposed to be rooming with decided he didn't want to move out of his apartment and resigned his lease. Now this would not have been a problem had he informed me, BUT the little shithead decided that it wasn't important enough for me to be aware of this change.
So the weekend comes and I got my first load of stuff packed in the car and me and dad head down into town, which is a 20 minute drive by the way, get to the apartment and go see the landlord about getting the keys. The landlord informs us that he got a call a few days ago from, lets call him Richard or Dick for short, and Dick told him that he had changed his mind and that he would not be moving in. Luckily the landlord was a really nice guy when we told him that we had no clue about this change and told us that he would void out the lease we had signed and refunded my half of the first months rent and security deposit, although he did seem to be rather pleased when he said a friend of his was a lawyer and would make sure that Dick paid the difference.
Although Dick got his Karma I was still rather pissed off at having to move all my stuff back into my parents place, which was a pain in the ass, but thankfully I got it all done and dad was willing to give me a pass on the months rent. Well it took a while to get all my important stuff unpacked, when I got my computer unpacked and powered up I noticed that something had happened to it has a lot of my files and games were deleted. My dad, who had actually built this computer from scratch, tried everything he could think of, including calling a few of his more knowledgable friends for advice, but nothing worked so I had to try to get a lot of that stuff re-uploaded and downloaded.
As I said earlier Life loves throwing curve balls and apparently the bitch wasn't done fucking my life up because one of the many files that were lost was my word program and everything I had written with it, including other fanfic ideas, online RPG posts, and of course the new chapter for Syopa Cusatyo. Well you can imagine the curse filled rant I spouted off and I'm just grateful that mom wasn't around cause she would've probably smacked me as she hates foul language. Of course after I was done ranting I just gave up on writing period, but still enjoyed reading all the fanfics so spent a large portion of my time doing exactly that. Well the past couple of weeks I've found myself reading my story over and over again, trying to get inspired to continue the story, however after watching the FFX Let's Play video playlist by Cyric1983 I got a crazy idea and just went with it and the result is turning out awesome.
So dear readers, reviewers, favorites, followers and fans in general, in conclusion I am here to inform you that there will NOT be a continuation of this story. Instead this will be marked as complete and I will begin work on Syopa Cusato v 2.0, which will introduce an Original Character that I hope will be well received as well as a few other changes that are Top Secret at this point. Now unfortunately I cannot give a time frame as to when SC v2.0 will be released as I plan on much longer and detailed chapters. Until that time I want to apologize to everyone, I know that a lot of it wasn't my fault, but I find myself feeling like I let all of you people down so I will do my best to get SC v2.0 posted quickly, but I assure you it will be written as neat and properly as possible.
Thank you for your time and your patience
A/N 2: In response to DukeScarlet's review I wanted to confirm that the Tidus/Rikku pairing will NOT be changed. As to the OC I don't want to give too much away as I plan on him having a very important role in the story, however that does not mean he will have a huge impact on our team of heroes. As to the other changes I have planned they mostly involve expanding the world and story of the original game, kind of like the differences between the LOTR theatrical and special versions.
I hope this answered a few questions and calmed a few worries and I appreciate the continued support and patience.
