Stone is a status in Final Fantasy. It is primarily associated with the Poison element.

Content in italics is exclusive to the Dawn of Souls and/or 20th Anniversary releases.

Mechanics

Stone incapacitates the target until it is removed. It will not wear off on its own, and persists out of combat. Stoned enemies are removed from battle entirely and cannot return, effectively being KO'd. Stoned party members remain in battle, but are flagged as defeated for Game Over purposes. They retain their HP from the moment the status was applied, but all other statuses are removed, and they are unaffected by anything bar effects that remove the Stone status.

Starting from the Pixel Remaster release, stoned party members remain valid targets for enemy attacks, and they will still gain experience points at the end of each battle. In prior releases, enemies will avoid selecting stoned party members for attacks, and they do not gain experience after the party wins a battle.

As with other statuses, it is only possible to be immune to the Stone condition in the Pixel Remaster release; in other releases, the most one can do is resist the element of an attack that inflicts the status, reducing its accuracy. Even if a target is listed as resisting Stone, this is in reference to the element, rather than effects that can inflict Stone.
