Unlock the New "Photograph" Emote in Final Fantasy XIV!

A collaboration with Fujifilm Instax brings this free emote to Final Fantasy XIV as part of Patch 7.18. Unlike many emotes requiring quests or purchases, the "Photograph" emote is readily available in your Emote menu after downloading the latest patch. No level or expansion is required.

How to Use the "Photograph" Emote

Access the emote via the "Social" tab, located under the "General" section of your Emote menu. Your character will then use a Fujifilm-style camera to snap a Polaroid picture. Add it to your favorites for easy access.

This dynamic emote works in various locations, including underwater (like the Ruby Sea) and while mounted (both grounded and flying). It's perfect for creative poses and memorable screenshots.

Patch 7.18 precedes the major Patch 7.2 release in late March, bringing new dungeons, the Arcadion's return, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
