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

As part of an exciting collaboration with Fujifilm’s Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV*'s Patch 7.18 introduces a delightful new emote, the "Photograph," available to all players at no extra cost. This charming emote lets you simulate taking photographs anywhere in Eorzea, adding a fun and creative element to your gameplay.

Unlike many other emotes in the game, which often require completing specific quests or making purchases, the "Photograph" emote is automatically added to your Emote menu upon logging in after downloading the latest patch. There are no level or expansion purchase requirements to unlock this emote, making it accessible to everyone.

How to Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To use 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 pull out a Fujifilm-style camera to take a Polaroid picture. If you plan on using this emote frequently, consider adding it to your Favorites for quick access.

Although the "Photograph" emote is not continuous and isn't ideal for "AFK" activities, it's versatile enough to be used in various scenarios and environments. You can capture moments underwater in areas like the Ruby Sea or even while mounted on a ground or flying mount. This versatility allows for creative and fun poses, reminiscent of *Inception*-style moments with your characters.

Patch 7.18 is the final update before the more substantial Patch 7.2, set to release in late March. Players can look forward to new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more exciting content.
