Final Fantasy 14: Endwalkeris adding a lot of new content when the expansion releases in November, bringing the “eons in the making” tale of Hydaelyn and Zodiark to an end, addingclasses like the Sage and Reaper, and more to the game. It’s also adding the Tower of Zot dungeon, which features three faces from the past: The Magus Sisters.
Thus far, perhaps their most iconic role inFinal Fantasywas a summon inFF10, but they originated from the Tower of Zot (hence the connection) inFinal Fantasy 4. Yet, they are still not as common as othersummons, like Ifritor Shiva, and it’s worth learning more about them before their release.

Final Fantasy: Magus Sisters’ Origin, Lore, Abilities, and Past Games
The three sisters are always together as a triad, with Sandy being the middle child but the tallest character, Cindy being the oldest sister and taking center stage in the trio, and Mindy being the smallest and youngest of the three. Together, they are associated with the Delta Attack which grew from their in-gameFinal Fantasy 4strategyto a proper attack later on.
Their name comes in reference to their magic, Magus, which is obvious but also the Moirai, who are the three fates of Destiny. These beings are Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (allotter), and Atropos (inevitable)—and this connection is most likely recognizable inFinal Fantasy 10. Unlike other summons, players cannot control the Magus Sisters.
They are hardly referenced outside the franchise, though it should be noted that, inKingdom Hearts, three Gummi blueprintsare named Sandy, Cindy, and Mindy. In the Final Fantasy franchise, though, they have had a solid number of appearances/references. Not counting smaller and/or mobile titles, here are the most notable:
They also appear or are referenced in several smaller and/or mobile titles, ranging fromAirborne BrigadetoMobius Final Fantasy.
Magus Sisters in Final Fantasy 14
As aforementioned, the Magus Sisters are coming toFinal Fantasy 14as part of the Tower of Zot dungeon. They are renamed Minduruva, Sandurva, and Cinuruva, combining their original names with that of Dhruva. This suggests how deep their regional connection withFinal Fantasy 14’s Thavnair goes, which makes sense given the Tower of Zotis set here too. Nothing else story-wise or lore-wise has been revealed yet, and it isn’t likely to beforeEndwalker’s release.
However, one important thing fans do know is that the Magus Sisters’ Delta Attack will be used inFinal Fantasy 14. Big changes or whatnot have yet to be revealed, but given how some titles likeTactics Advancejust reference the Delta Attack andFinal Fantasy 11changes it up, it’ll be interesting to see how this one manifests in contrast to other, similar ‘Delta Attacks’ inFinal Fantasy 14.
Final Fantasy 14: Endwalkerreleases on November 23 for PC, PS4, and PS5.
