Stone (Final Fantasy XII)

Stone is a status in Final Fantasy XII. Stone is the fully-petrified status, followed from Petrify counter expiring. Enemies are defeated outright by it, and player characters vanish from the battlefield, but can be returned to battle using Stona or Gold Needle. Unlike Petrify, Stone cannot be cured with Esuna or Esunaga or Remedy with Remedy Lore 2. As with KO and X-Zone, if all party members are turned to Stone, the game is over.
Enemies that turn to stone do not increase or break the battle chain, but can still drop loot and will drop higher grade loot if the player's chain was high when the enemy dropped it, and in some cases, enemies defeated by turning to stone will respawn endlessly.
==Abilities==
The player does not have access to abilities that inflict Stone outright: they can only inflict Petrify and wait out the countdown.
