Emotes are a beloved part of the *Final Fantasy XIV* social experience, and the game regularly introduces charming new additions. The adorable Blow Bubbles emote is a recent favorite. Here's how to add it to your collection.
You can unlock emotes in *FFXIV* through various means, including quests, Mogtome events, and other in-game activities. However, some special emotes, like Blow Bubbles, are available for purchase on the Mog Station. This whimsical emote celebrates spring and in-game events such as Little Ladies' Day.
To obtain it, visit the Mog Station item store. After logging in, navigate to the 'Optional Items' tab under 'Additional Services'. The Blow Bubbles emote will be among the new items. For US players, the cost is $7.00 USD. Important note: this emote is character-specific and cannot be gifted.
Once purchased, log into *FFXIV* and visit a Delivery Moogle in any major city or hub (or check your Free Company's house mailbox if available). The emote will be ready for pickup once the mail icon appears on your HUD.
After retrieving your emote, locate the "Ballroom Etiquette – Bubble Diversions" item in your inventory. Use it to permanently unlock the emote for your character (remember, it's not account-wide). Access the emote via the Social tab's Emote menu. You'll find it among the General emotes, usually towards the bottom. Add it to your Favorites or hotbar for easy access.
The Blow Bubbles emote features your character blowing two sets of bubbles. While not continuous, it's a fun and photogenic addition to your emote repertoire.
