"Guide to Obtaining Photograph Emote in FF14 Patch 7.18"

One of the most delightful aspects of the social culture in *Final Fantasy XIV* is the diverse range of character emotes that players can use to enhance their interactions. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to acquire 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 introduces a delightful new emote for all players, free of charge. The "Photograph" emote lets you simulate taking pictures anywhere in Eorzea, adding a fun and unique element to your gameplay.

Unlike many other emotes in the game, which often require completing quests (like the "Pose of the Unbound" emote) or purchasing them, the "Photograph" emote is immediately available in your Emote menu upon logging in after updating to Patch 7.18. There are no level or expansion purchase requirements to access this emote, making it easily accessible to all players.

How to Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV

To use the Photograph emote, navigate to your Emote menu under the "Social" tab, and find the "Photograph" emote listed under the "General" tab near the bottom. Select it, and your character will pull out a Fujifilm-style camera to take a Polaroid picture. For convenience, you can add it to your Favorites if you plan on using it frequently.

Although the Photograph emote is not continuous and isn't ideal for "AFK" activities, it's highly versatile. You can use it in various environments, from underwater in the Ruby Sea to atop a mount, whether grounded or flying. This versatility can lead to some fascinating, *Inception*-style poses with your characters.

Patch 7.18 serves as the final update before the more substantial Patch 7.2, scheduled for late March. Players can look forward to new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
