Photograph Emote Guide: Patch 7.18 in FF XIV

One of the most enjoyable aspects of the social culture in *Final Fantasy XIV* is the amazing variety of character emotes that players can use to further interact with each other. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the delightful Photograph emote introduced in Patch 7.18.

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

As part of an exciting collaboration with Fujifilm's Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV*'s Patch 7.18 brings a unique and charming new emote, the "Photograph" emote, available to all players at no cost. This delightful addition allows you to simulate taking photographs anywhere you venture in Eorzea.

Unlike many other emotes in the game, which are often locked behind quest objectives or require a purchase, the "Photograph" emote is automatically added to your Emote menu as soon as you log in after downloading the latest patch update. There are no level or expansion purchase requirements to unlock this emote.

How To Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To use the Photograph emote, navigate to your Emote menu under the "Social" tab and locate the "Photograph" emote near the bottom of your list under the "General" tab. Simply select it, and your character will pull out a stylish Fujifilm-style camera to take a Polaroid picture. If you plan on using this emote frequently, consider adding it to your Favorites for easy access.

While the Photograph emote is not continuous and isn't suitable for "AFK" activities, it offers dynamic usage across various scenarios and environments. You can use it underwater in locations like the Ruby Sea or even while atop a mount, whether grounded or flying.

This emote can lead to some fascinating, *Inception*-style pose moments with your characters. Patch 7.18 is the final update before the more substantial Patch 7.2, set to release in late March, bringing new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and much more for players to anticipate.
