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

One of the many delightful social features in Final Fantasy XIV is the wide array of emotes players can use to interact. This guide details how to obtain the charming new "Photograph" emote.

Thanks to a collaboration with Fujifilm Instax, Patch 7.18 introduces this free emote. It 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 needed!

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

While not continuous or ideal for AFK activities, the emote is versatile. Use it underwater (like the Ruby Sea) or while mounted (both grounded and flying). It's perfect for creative, Inception-esque character poses.

Patch 7.18 precedes the major Patch 7.2 (late March), bringing new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, 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.
