Stop (Final Fantasy VIII status)

Stop is a status in Final Fantasy VIII. Targets under Stop are unable to act or avoid attacks. If the target was afflicted with any status effects prior to being stopped, their effects and durations are halted as well. The effect lasts approximately 13.3 seconds. Stopped party members are frozen in place and their ATB gauge is grayed out.

Stop will not work on bosses but is good against many random encounters.
