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

A delightful addition to Final Fantasy XIV's social features is the brand-new "Photograph" emote, a free gift from the Fujifilm Instax collaboration in Patch 7.18. This charming emote lets you capture Polaroid-style snapshots in Eorzea.

Unlike many emotes requiring quests or purchases, the "Photograph" emote is readily available after downloading Patch 7.18. No level or expansion is needed to access it. Simply update your game, and it's yours!

Access the emote via the "Social" tab's Emote menu. You'll find "Photograph" under the "General" section. Use it to have your character snap a picture! Add it to your favorites for easy access.

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

Patch 7.18 serves as a prelude to the extensive Patch 7.2, arriving in late March. Expect new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and much more!
