In Japanese.. よろしくです。 OR よろしくお願いします is often the sentiment spoken when you meet someone new. My Japanese teacher years ago said there was no direct translation. This is why if you do a plain google translate you’ll get something along the line of “Thank you” or possibly “Nice to meet you”. The translation my teacher gave me however was that it was something closer to “Please be kind to me” After the last few years.. that is the greeting I have for 2023.
I’m in a state of cautious melancholy as we enter this New Year.
To put it blunt, its been a tough couple of weeks. My family lost a member on Christmas day, and a Co-Worker of mine passed on the 29th. The last few months has been fraught with diagnoses, surguries and illness, as well as plain stress and feelings of inadequacy and not being able to live up to the challenge.
I’m not quite as festive as I was hoping to feel at this juncture, definitely not residing in the emotions that I “should be” at this time of year. That said.. I totally realize it isn’t just me. It has been hard all around for quite a few people for the last few years. To some degree it has been quite the trial.
The thought that occurs to me tonight, is that challenges inspire improvement through learning.
If I’ve learned anything this past year, I think it becomes important to acknowledge what we are feeling, when we are feeling it, and to not just put on a brave face merely for the sake of pretenses. Its important to actually spend the time processing some of these emotions. Because hiding them or ignoring them doesn’t make them go away… it just fuels how hard the next set of emotions hits you. We need to process these feelings as to create the needed tools to regulate ourselves and regulate our emotions… because they do need regulation. Emotions aren’t always based in truth… and the ones that aren’t can really put us in a downward spiral. We need to know the difference.
I’m hoping that what I’ve been taught this last year, is to plain appreciate life, the good as well as the bad. To work thru managing our emotions in something closer to handling them in real time.
We’ve all had those times when we can’t at all explain why we feel the way we do. I think that happens because its something we may not have dealt with has crept back from where we’ve stuffed it away. Except now, the context of what had caused it is unrecognizable because all that’s left is the residue of that original hurt. Understanding and resolving is hindered when context is removed.
Please note, I’m not at all suggesting any quick reactions to emotions. More, I’m just saying that we should actually try to identify them for ourselves, discover their source (personal bias, insecurity, etc – and admit it even if it hurts our pride or ego) and deal with them so that we can move on. Ignoring them only works for a short time.. if at all.
If I have a desire for this coming year, its to get better at safeguarding my spirit from getting stuck in dark hard times. To embrace and experience and process all this life has to offer me. To continue to forge ahead and not give up on growing or improving. Nice to meet you 2023… Please be kind and patient with me.
Spring to Life = activates fire cannons on one side & mammets on the other
Blistering Blow = Tank Buster
Fore Honor = cleave in front of boss
Slashburn = One Fire Rectangle & Two Blue Triangle AoE’s
Signal Flare = Sets of circle AoE’s set down (goes off in order placed)
Slashburn + Red & Blue Arrows = Slashburn AoE’s will swap sides
Blaze of Glory = Two Fire balls (will go off in cross from where they are )
I ended up doing a very slow / methodical run of the Thorne Knight fight entirely in the interest of showing the mechanics and explaining them just once, but giving a view of the fight in its entirety.
Disclaimer:This video is meant to show what can be expected mechanic wise , NOT to show “how to play” or “how to be good” at this job, or at this fight.. this was only meant to show you how to outlast the boss’s mechanics.. lol

Its been awhile since I’ve just posted a status of what is going on. I’ve absolutely loved Endwalker and everything that has come with it. so thought I’d post a few memories.
Ended up having a few runs with my real life family members (our two sons – Quaiden & Cheesy). Its interesting to have 4 people in the same household all diving into Endwalker at the same time. Was fun to get to experience some parts of it together! The middle picture is from a dungeon run that the 4 of us did.
Another thing I loved, was all the references to 1.0 in Endwalker! Here was one place that Nicos called my attention to when he found it. It all flooded back! Memories of the 1.0 Whitemage Body piece AF quest, where you’d get a party and kite these old elemental sprites around a very similar tree in Gridania!
Elpis or Gridania?
Multiple memories of misc dungeons with friends! So much fun! I’ve missed running with some of these guys! It’s nice when people are back! ❤
Nicos, Katella, Kryswen, KaelkScarlet, Katella, Professor Hojo
Nicos helped Bluu and I reach the rooftops of Radz-at-Han using the jumping puzzle! Had he not, I never would have even known there were gardens on the roof-tops! Its beautiful up there!
Went Chi / Kai farming with Blind, Merik and Rainie one day to get the Level Checker mount
Did the healer role quest and the ranged magic dps role quest — definitely preferred the rdm one!
Also ended up doing some random things and got some misc items! Got the Starbird from a run with Kaelk & Rainie, I had planned to farm this if I didn’t get it at some point! Note: First EX mount in awhile to actually drop for me pre-99 runs! I got it on the 23rd run! 🙂

Was really loving the excitement I was hearing from everyone, and I always love seeing people’s creative screenshots… so I had issued the following challenge on Oct 23rd!
Katella’s main plan will be focusing on story while leveling her scholar! I’m also excited for some already pre-planned dungeon diversions with Blind & Nicos and a few others to go try out sage and reaper! Overall just really happy for these times because so many friends come back around when expansions come out, and its always so lovely to get to play and even just catch up with all the new and old Distant World members and community friends! It is going to be so much fun! On a side note – will of course be at the same time prepping for the first primal extreme runs of Endwalker! 99 tokens each will be a goal!
New minions I think is a primary goal that both you and Blindrage will share! lollol!! Of course!! 🙂 Can’t wait to see your next form Sunny! ❤ Send me a pic after you’ve decided! 🙂Moon Trees, and moon crafting… hmm .. while I don’t know about the trees… the Moon Crafting we can always just make happen…. Mender’s MOONday here we come!! LOLThis is really such a great shot! I am so impressed by the timing and the angle of having the moon and the tower in the background! Such a great job Hojo!! Pierce takes awesome screenshots and posts them on twitter pretty regularly! I love seeing them, and can’t wait to see the next ones inspired by Endwalker gear sets!Lilly and I have had very fun conversations about the fact that in Japanese, this expansion is actually called Dawnmoon Finale or sometimes styled as The Rising Moon and what that may mean lore wise as to what is ahead of us!
Final note: As we prepare to “Forge Ahead” I’ve played this game since 2010, making it a truth, that some of the people in the Distant World Community have been in my life now for over a decade. I’m so thankful to have met these people, and so thankful that many are still willing to catch up, here and there, or that they even are just willing to come say hello in discord, even if they no longer play. It is the end of an era for sure.. this has all been quite the journey, both ingame and out.
As time marches on… and things continue to change.. Graha Tia’s words are ones I will always remember from this point in time:
“There may come a day when you forget the faces and voices of those you have met along the way. On that day, I bid you remember this: That no matter how far your journey may take you, you stand where you stand by virtue of the road you walked to get there.“
Thank you all for being part of my journey! ❤
This was our last night of Shadowbringers! Thank you guys for humoring me and coming out for one last picture! L-R: Ventus, Frozen, Pierce, Scarlet, Ezra, Blindrage, Biri, Kryswen, Ladykria, Katella, Professor Hojo, Xaimera, Rasekhmet, Merikosum, Jia, Ommos
While I’m at it, I’ll share something else we recently worked on together! Thank you Distant World Community Members! ❤ Thank you for all the memories so far. I hope we are able to “Forge Ahead” and continue on.
Goodnight Shadowbringers… its been an absolute pleasure!
Side Quest: – Take a screenshot of your character thinking about what they will do first in Endwalker! – Share it with your plans via a tweet tagging @katellas with a #FFXIV_MoonDreams by Nov 17th 2021!
The best entries will be featured in a blog post on Nov 18th while we wait for FFXIV final patch notes to be released! Please Pass the word!
If I could take a moment, I would just like to say that I hope you guys are just as excited for this expansion as I am! You know… it is honestly nice to just have something to be excited about, and I can’t wait!!
For many, its been a rough couple of years. Life has been pretty adventurous in it’s own right lately, and not really in a positive way. The challenges brought on by the pandemic along with other events events has been difficult and mentally draining on so many. It is my sincerest hope that you all are healthy and are finding your way together with the help of family and friends both far and near. I hope things are looking up. It’s important to remember that we are not alone, no matter how isolated we sometimes feel.
Hopefully… the hype we have been feeling with the coming of this expansion has lightened your load, and given you something to smile about and plan for.
The other night it was exactly one month before Endwalker launch day. I logged into FFXIV and began doing some moogle tome runs for this most recent rendition of that event. I began chatting with some friends and talking about what different people’s goals were for their first dive into Endwalker.
During that conversation, I realized just how affirming it can be to simply hear others express their excitement and talk about their different plans for their first days! I thought about how contagious excitement can be, and how nice it might be to gather it and to spread that sentiment around this community. It was then that I decided to do this twitter event to invite more people to express their plans for their first days as we all head down this new path together!
I would absolutely love to hear your plans! I invite you to please participate if you have the ability to do so!
