"Unlocking the Photograph Emote in FF14's Patch 7.18"

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

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

As part of an exciting official collaboration with Fujifilm’s Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV*'s otherwise lightweight 7.18 patch has introduced a unique new emote for all players, available free of charge. The "Photograph" emote is a charming addition that allows you to simulate taking photos anywhere you go in the world of Eorzea.

Unlike 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 delightful feature.

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" option near the bottom of your list under the "General" tab. Activate it, and your character will pull out a stylish 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 is a standard one and not continuous or suitable for "AFK" activities, its versatility shines through as you can use it in a variety of scenarios and environments. From underwater locations like the Ruby Sea to atop a mount, whether grounded or flying, the possibilities for creative and *Inception*-style pose moments with your characters are endless.

Patch 7.18 serves as the final update before the highly anticipated, content-rich Patch 7.2, scheduled for late March. Players can look forward to a wealth of new content, including new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
