Magus Sisters



The Magus Sisters are a running gag in the series. They are named Sandy, Cindy, and Mindy.

Final Fantasy IV
They first appeared as a boss in Final Fantasy IV at the top of the Tower of Zot, where they were minions to Valvalis of the Air, one of the Four Fiends of the Elements. They would attack using their Delta Attack, in which Sandy would cast Wall on Cindy, and Mindy would use a level two spell or Virus on Cindy, reflecting it back on to Cecil's party. Cindy also had the power to revive her allies if they died.

Final Fantasy IX
The statue in Alexandria bears a striking resemblance to the Magus sisters, one figure being short, one being tall and slender, and the last being rather round.

Final Fantasy X
The Magus Sisters make an appearance as an extra Aeon that is found in Remiem Temple. To obtain them, the player must find the Flower Sceptre and the Blossom Crown and use them to open the back door of the Temple, where the sisters rest. Unlike most Aeons, they attack as three separate players. Their specific commands cannot be controlled, Yuna can only suggest actions for them to take by shouting "Attack!", "Defense!", "Help Each Other!", "Go, Go, Go!" etc, however the resulting effect under each heading is entirely random. Sandy's special attack is called Razzia, Cindy's is called Camisade, and Mindy's is called Passado, which really does fifteen consecutive attacks. Their Overdrive is Delta Attack, and is only used when all three of their gauges fill up. The Overdrive received an upgrade for the International and PAL version, dealing 8 attacks rather than one. Summons & Delta Attack mxMFGJhl5BI Also in the International and PAL versions of the game, once Yuna and her Guardians escape Bevelle, the Dark Sisters will be hanging around Mushroom Rock Road and won't hesitate to attack if you get too close.

Final Fantasy X-2
The Dark Magus Sisters reappear in X-2 as the second aeon waiting to impede Yuna, Rikku and Paine's venture into the Farplane.

Itadaki Street Portable
The Magus Sisters also appear in Dragon Quest & Final Fantasy in Itadaki Street Portable.

Reference in Final Fantasy VI
The Three Dream Stooges who haunt Cyan Garamonde in his dreams, Larry, Curley, and Moe, may be a reference to the sisters, as they attack as a team and can use a Delta Attack of their own. They are in fact a reference to the American Slapstick comedy trio, the Three Stooges who were known as Larry, Curley and Moe.
