This free emote lets you recreate the experience of taking a Polaroid photo in Eorzea. Unlike many emotes requiring quests or purchases, the "Photograph" emote is instantly available after downloading Patch 7.18. No level or expansion is required!

How to Use the "Photograph" Emote:

  3. Locate and select the "Photograph" emote.

Your character will then strike a pose and snap a picture with a Fujifilm-style camera. Add it to your Favorites for quick access! Enjoy using it in various locations, including underwater and while mounted!

Patch 7.18 is a smaller update preceding the larger Patch 7.2 (arriving late March), which includes new dungeons, the Arcadion's return, Cosmic Exploration, and much more.
