Magus Sisters



The Magus Sisters are recurring characters in the Final Fantasy series who appear as a group of three. They are named Sandy the tallest and middle sister, Cindy  the portly and oldest sister, and Mindy  the smallest and youngest sister. They are commonly associated with the Delta Attack ability.

Final Fantasy IV

 * For the boss pages, see Cindy, Mindy, and Sandy.

The Magus Sisters appear as a boss at the top of the Tower of Zot where they are minions to Barbariccia of the Air, one of Golbez's Archfiends. They attack using the Delta Attack, in which Sandy casts Reflect on Cindy and Mindy who use a level two elemental spell or Bio on Cindy, reflecting it on to Cecil's party. Cindy can revive her allies, and thus it is a good idea to concentrate the party's attack on her first.

Final Fantasy IV: The After Years

 * For the boss pages, see Cindy, Mindy, and Sandy.

The three sisters return as bosses, and are fought in the Subterrane. They fight in the exact same way as in the previous game, and can be dealt with in the same manner.

Final Fantasy X


The Magus Sisters appear as an optional aeon found in Remiem Temple after opening its back door with the Flower Sceptre and the Blossom Crown (when Anima and Yojimbo are recruited). The Magus Sisters act as three separate players, and their moves cannot be controlled, only suggested with shouting commands such as "Fight!", "Help Each Other!" and "Go, Go, Go!". However, their moves and stats are very strong, making them worth using.

Final Fantasy XI


The Shikaree Sisters are largely a reference to, if not a direct appearance of, the Magus Sisters, as confirmed by Square Enix in Dissidia. Simply referred to as Shikaree X, Shikaree Y, and Shikaree Z, they wield the sisters' respective weapons (scythe, daggers, polearm) and have their own Final Fantasy XI version of a delta attack in the form of skill chaining.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance
The Magus Sisters appear as Liliths and are fought in "Mission #077: Free Baguba!" In this mission, they are known as Naga and each know only one of the three abilities the Lilith can use (Cindy only uses Poison Frog, Sandy only uses Twister, and Mindy only uses Kiss). When they are all defeated, Mindy will say she should have used her special attack, a reference to the Magus Sisters' Delta Attack.

Final Fantasy Legends II
The Magus Sisters appear as a summon. In addition to appearing as a group summon, each Magus Sister appear as separate Phantom Stones for the player to obtain. Each of their special attacks are based of their abilities from their Final Fantasy X appearance.

The Magus Sisters appear as a non-elemental summon. They can only obtained after doing the Tower of Babil limited time event. Their special attack is Delta Attack, which inflicts non-elemental damage to all enemies and recovers the HP and reduces damage for two turns to all party members. All versions of the summon are able to go up to rank 5. Summoning the Magus Sisters costs 2 points from the Consumption Gauge.

Trivia

 * In Final Fantasy X, when the sisters perform their Overdrive, they surround the enemy party in eight Crystals, four of blue hue, and four of red-orange hue. This is a reference back to Final Fantasy IV, where there were four blue Crystals of the surface world, and four red-orange Crystals of the Underground.
 * In Live A Live, an RPG for Super Famicom developed by Square and directed by Final Fantasy IV lead designer Takashi Tokita, the bosses Chan, Shan, and Lin greatly resemble the Magus Sisters.
 * The BradyGames strategy guide for Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster mixes up the attack descriptions for Razzia and Camisade.
 * In Final Fantasy X the special attacks "Razzia" and "Camisade" have origins in military tactics: Razzia comes from Arabic, Ghazw, meaning "raid" and Camisado is a surprise raid during times when the enemy is supposed to be asleep. Passado is a fencing skill—a forward lunge with an epee or rapier.
