Unlock the New "Photograph" Emote in FFXIV Patch 7.18!

One of Final Fantasy XIV's most engaging social features is the diverse range of character emotes. This guide explains how to obtain the newly added "Photograph" emote.

Thanks to a collaboration with Fujifilm Instax, Final Fantasy XIV's Patch 7.18 introduces a free "Photograph" emote. This charming emote lets you simulate taking a Polaroid photo anywhere in Eorzea.

Unlike many emotes requiring quests or purchases, the "Photograph" emote is readily available in your Emote menu after downloading Patch 7.18. No level or expansion is required!

Using the "Photograph" Emote

Access the emote via the "Social" tab, then find "Photograph" under the "General" tab. Your character will use a Fujifilm-style camera to snap a Polaroid. Add it to your favorites for easy access.

The emote is static, not continuous, but versatile; use it underwater (like the Ruby Sea) or while mounted (both grounded and flying). It's perfect for creative poses!

Patch 7.18 precedes the major Patch 7.2 (late March), featuring new dungeons, the Arcadian's return, Cosmic Exploration, and more.

This concludes our guide to obtaining the "Photograph" emote. See our other FFXIV content, including our guide to the Moogle Treasure Trove Phantasmagoria event rewards.
