Will the emote Ballroom Etiquette - Apocalyptic Charades (Sundering) be presistent?

Someone posted a response from the support team on another thread, saying the main emote won't loop, but the character will stay floating.

Again not sure how concrete/clear this is, hopefully it gets properly clarified soon as will be nice to know ^^

Lol! I would but I see you already found it now aha. We are on hopium but let's see what happens

Good morning! Thank you for posting in the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

We apologize for any inconvenience that has occurred when playing Final Fantasy XIV. Unfortunately, the issue you are describing does not appear to be a technical issue. I will go ahead and move this thread to “General Discussion" instead.

Thank you once again for visiting the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums!

Well I did contacted the support center and basically they don't know it either:

"Thank you for contacting the Square Enix Support Centre.

Thank you for your interest in the Hydaelyn & Zodiark figure.

Unfortunately, we do not have any specific information regarding the persistent animation of the Sundering emote.

We can only advise you to review the official forums and post any questions there.

If you have any specific suggestions regarding the emote after receipt, please do not hesitate to contact us again"

300+$ product from a AAA company and nobody can clarify on what is actually being sold. Smh.

Not even a shock anymore. And look, despite the lacking clarification, it still sold out in minutes. This is the absolute state of the gaming industry.
Looking at the video, and speaking purely as someone who'll wind up staring at other people who use this, I hope the actual flashy animation part doesn't loop and they just keep the float. I can't even imagine how annoying and gaudy it would be to let people loop a whole ass summoning emote while they're afk irl. Random floating dudes is also pretty obtrusive and over the top though, and if I'm being real I think it's gross how all these payment exclusive emotes let you literally look down on people, but w/e

I think there was some confusion about the emote and also some CS maybe didn't quite understand what was being asked. We didn't want to know if the WHOLE emote would loop. We wanted to know if it would keep characters floating afterwards since the end of the showcase video showed them dropping down. In hindsight it should have been "does it stay floating?" instead of "does it loop?".

Not expecting the float to last based on the evidence shown. It would only serve to invalidate the Omega emotes, which don't have giant flashy animations in addition to being persistent.

I still hope we will stay floating at the end. Why animate the complete howering loop for it then not use it? Seems silly to me ^^'
