Through a special collaboration with Fujifilm's Instax, *Final Fantasy XIV's* Patch 7.18 introduces a delightful new emote available to all players at no cost. The Photograph emote lets you capture virtual moments throughout Eorzea with a charming Polaroid-style animation.

Unlike most emotes that require completing quests (like the Pose of the Unbound emote) or purchasing from vendors, the Photograph emote is immediately accessible through your Emote menu upon logging in after updating your game client.

This emote has no level restrictions or expansion requirements - simply install the latest patch to add it to your collection.

To use the Photograph emote, navigate to your Emote menu under the Social tab. Locate the Photograph option in the General category, where it appears alphabetically. Select it to watch your character produce a Fujifilm-style camera and snap a picture. Consider adding it to your Favorites for quick access if you plan to use it frequently.

While not a continuous emote suitable for AFK poses, the Photograph animation works dynamically in various situations. You can use it underwater in areas like the Ruby Sea, or while mounted on both ground and flying creatures.

This emote creates fun photo opportunities and creative compositions with your character. As the final update before the significant Patch 7.2 in late March, 7.18 prepares players for upcoming content including new dungeons, Arcadion content, Cosmic Exploration, and more.
