"Get the Photograph Emote in FF XIV Patch 7.18: Guide"

One of the most delightful features of social interaction in *Final Fantasy XIV* is the extensive range of character emotes that players can use to engage with one another. This guide will walk you through how to unlock and use the Photograph emote in *Final Fantasy XIV*.

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

Thanks to an exciting collaboration with Fujifilm’s Instax, the 7.18 patch of *Final Fantasy XIV* introduces a new, free emote for all players. The "Photograph" emote adds a delightful touch, allowing you to mimic taking photos anywhere in Eorzea.

Unlike other emotes in the game, which might require completing specific quests or making purchases (like the "Pose of the Unbound" emote), the "Photograph" emote is immediately available in your Emote menu as soon as you log in after updating to the latest patch. There are no level requirements or expansion purchases needed to access this charming feature.

How to Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To activate the Photograph emote, navigate to your Emote menu under the "Social" tab. Scroll to the "General" tab and find the "Photograph" emote near the bottom of the list. Select it, and your character will whip out a Fujifilm-style camera to snap a Polaroid picture. If you plan on using it frequently, consider adding it to your Favorites for quick access.

Although the Photograph emote isn't designed for continuous use or suitable for "AFK" activities, its versatility shines through in various settings. You can use it underwater in areas like the Ruby Sea or while mounted on a ground or flying creature. This flexibility can lead to some creative and fun *Inception*-style poses with your characters.

With Patch 7.18 being the final update before the content-rich Patch 7.2 arrives in late March, players have much to anticipate, including new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
