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

In an exciting collaboration with Fujifilm’s Instax, the 7.18 patch of *Final Fantasy XIV* introduces a unique emote that's freely available to all players. The "Photograph" emote adds a charming touch to your in-game interactions, allowing you to mimic taking photos anywhere in Eorzea.

Unlike many other emotes, which often require completing specific quests or making purchases, the Photograph emote is instantly accessible through your Emote menu upon logging in. All you need to do is ensure you've downloaded the latest patch update, and the emote will be ready for use. There are no level restrictions or expansion purchases required to unlock this delightful feature.

How to Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To activate the Photograph emote, navigate to your Emote menu under the "Social" tab, and find it listed near the bottom under the "General" tab. Once selected, your character will whip out a Fujifilm-style camera and take a Polaroid picture. If you plan to use it frequently, consider adding it to your Favorites for easy access.

Although the Photograph emote isn't designed for continuous use or suitable for "AFK" activities, its versatility allows you to use it in various settings, including underwater locations like the Ruby Sea and while mounted on both ground and flying creatures. This flexibility can lead to some creative, *Inception*-style moments with your character.

Patch 7.18 serves as a precursor to the more substantial Patch 7.2, slated for release in late March. Players can anticipate a wealth of new content, including fresh dungeons, a revisit to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
