Legend of Mana: Teardrop Crystal

There are a lot details given by the game to really understand the scene. But basically, after almost all the Jumi died from having their cores taken out, the player character sheds a tear for them, turning he/she into stone. However, the tear became a Teardrop Crystal which bring all the Jumi back and they in turn cry to bring the player character back to life.

From the beginning, the game also gives the player the option of playing as a male hero or a leotard clad heroine to play as and later be turned into stone for this event. There's also a manga which features the petrification scene but only for the male character, named Toto. (As of this edit, there's currently an ongoing anime of this game which so far follows the same direction. This page will likely be further edited when the scene comes.)
