"Guide to Obtaining Photograph Emote in FF14 Patch 7.18"

One of the most delightful aspects of social culture in *Final Fantasy XIV* is the incredible variety of character emotes that players can use to enhance their interactions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to unlock and use the charming 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 new emote to all players, completely free of charge. The "Photograph" emote adds a charming touch, allowing you to simulate taking photos anywhere in Eorzea.

Unlike other emotes, which are often locked behind quest objectives or require purchases, the "Photograph" emote is immediately available in your Emote menu upon logging in after updating to Patch 7.18. There are no level requirements or expansion purchases needed to access this delightful addition.

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 the "General" tab. Upon activation, your character will pull out a Fujifilm-style camera to take a Polaroid picture. You can add it to your Favorites for easy access if you plan on using it frequently.

The Photograph emote, while not continuous or suitable for "AFK" activities, is versatile. You can use it in various scenarios and environments, such as underwater in the Ruby Sea or while mounted on a grounded or flying creature. This versatility allows for creative, *Inception*-style poses with your characters.

Patch 7.18 is the final update before the content-rich 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.
