One of the most delightful features of the social culture in *Final Fantasy XIV* is the extensive range of character emotes that enrich player interactions. Here’s your complete guide on how to acquire the charming Photograph emote in *Final Fantasy XIV*.
How To Unlock the Photograph Emote (Patch 7.18) in Final Fantasy XIV
As part of a unique collaboration with Fujifilm’s Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV* introduced the Photograph emote with the otherwise modest 7.18 patch. This delightful new emote, available to all players at no cost, allows you to capture the essence of photography within the enchanting world of Eorzea.
Unlike many other emotes that require quest completion (like the quirky “Pose of the Unbound” emote) or a purchase, 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 enjoy this emote.

How To Use the Photograph Emote in FFXIV
To utilize the Photograph emote, navigate to your Emote menu under the “Social” tab, and scroll to find the “Photograph” option listed under the “General” tab. Select it, and watch your character whip out a stylish Fujifilm-style camera to snap a Polaroid picture. For frequent use, consider adding it to your Favorites list.
While the Photograph emote doesn’t loop and isn’t ideal for “AFK” settings, its versatility shines in various scenarios and environments. You can use it underwater in locales like the Ruby Sea or while mounted on a ground or flying creature, adding a dynamic flair to your adventures. Imagine capturing *Inception*-inspired poses with your fellow adventurers!
Patch 7.18 serves as a prelude to the content-rich Patch 7.2, set to launch in late March, which promises new dungeons, a return to the Arcadion, Cosmic Exploration, and more exciting features.
