How To Get Photograph Emote (Patch 7.18) in Final Fantasy XIV

Authore: RyanUpdate:Mar 01,2025

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

A delightful addition to Final Fantasy XIV’s 7.18 patch, courtesy of a collaboration with Fujifilm Instax, is the free "Photograph" emote. This charming emote lets you capture whimsical in-game Polaroids.

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

How to Use the Emote:

Access the "Photograph" emote through your Emote menu (Social tab, General section). Your character will then snap a Polaroid-style photo. Add it to your Favorites for easy access.

Patch 7.18 precedes the major 7.2 update (late March), which includes new dungeons, the Arcadion's return, Cosmic Exploration, and more. Until then, enjoy your new photographic adventures!

Final Fantasy XIV is available now.
