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

In an exciting collaboration with Fujifilm’s Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV* has enriched its Patch 7.18 with a new and unique emote: the "Photograph." This charming addition lets you mimic taking photos anywhere in Eorzea, and it's available to all players at no extra cost.

Unlike other emotes that might require completing specific quests (like the "Pose of the Unbound" emote) or making purchases, the Photograph emote is automatically added to your Emote menu upon logging in after downloading the latest patch update. There are no level or expansion purchase prerequisites to unlock this delightful emote.

How To Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To use the Photograph emote, navigate to the "Social" tab in your Emote menu, and find the "Photograph" option listed under the "General" tab near the bottom. Select it, and your character will whip out a Fujifilm-style camera to snap a Polaroid picture. For frequent use, consider adding it to your Favorites.

While the Photograph emote isn't continuous and isn't ideal for "AFK" situations, its versatility shines through its adaptability to various scenarios and environments. You can capture moments underwater in locations like the Ruby Sea, or even while riding a mount, whether grounded or flying.

This emote can create some intriguing, *Inception*-inspired photo opportunities with your characters. Patch 7.18 is the final update before the substantial Patch 7.2, slated for late March, which promises new dungeons, a revisit to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and much more.
