Final Fantasy is chock full of siblings in both the mainline and spinoff games. For example, one of the most iconic pairs appears in Final Fantasy 6: Sabin and Edgar. Edgar is the ruling prince of Figaro while Sabin is an aspiring martial artist. They had their differences at the start of the adventure but their old wounds healed.
Final Fantasy: 10 Plot Twists No One Saw Coming
The Final Fantasy franchise has always prided itself on its strong narratives. Even the most astute fan never saw these plot twists coming.
A more recent example would be Joshua and Clive from Final Fantasy 16 who also began their adventure with some fiery passions toward each other. Those are some good brotherly examples, but there are good sisters out there as well. Here's a dive into sisterhood and look into both well-known and obscure characters.
7 The Magus Sisters
A Powerful Aeon Trio
The Magus Sisters were first introduced in the franchise in Final Fantasy 4. They were bosses consisting of three sisters: Cindy, Sandy, and Mindy. Their next major appearance was in Final Fantasy 10 and they were still a boss encounter. However, they could also become part of Yuna’s Summoning league, or Aeons as they are called in this universe.
Also, they were remodeled to look less human and more like bugs which is odd but it makes them stand out more compared to their original versions. They are one of the strongest Aeons in the game and while they have no story or real dialogue, they’re still a cool group of sisters.
6 Ai
A Sister Who Deeply Cares For Her Brother's Safety
- First Aired: October 2, 2001
- Studio: Gonzo
- Episodes: 25
Ai is from the lesser-known anime, Final Fantasy Unlimited which isn’t even the first or only anime in the franchise. She is a young pre-teen and the sister of Yu who is the same age. Ai and Yu are Japanese students who get sucked into a fantastical world called Wonderland.
10 Final Fantasy Console Variations You Never Knew Existed
These special edition consoles are so rare and unique that many Final Fantasy fans have never seen them before.
There they meet Final Fantasy staples like Chocobos. Yu even befriends one and he calls it Choco. Of the two, Ai is the more hotheaded one but even though she may overact, she cares for Yu’s safety. More so than anything, she’s worried about getting out of Wonderland and going home to safety with her brother.
5 Alma
Never Gave Up Hope On Her Brother
Alma is the sister of the main character in Final Fantasy Tactics, Ramza. Throughout the game, she is either at home safe, worrying about her brother and surrogate brother, Delita, or she is somewhere else in the middle of a kidnapping. She’s kind of like Aerith in her demeanor in that she initially doesn’t do much but is sweet all the same.
For whatever reason, the Church in this game wants to use Alma to summon forth the ultimate being, Altima, which is the form she later takes. Alma is technically the final boss of the game but it’s not really her. Overall, she had a wild rollercoaster of an arc in the game but her true self never gave up hope on Ramza both saving her and bringing peace to the land.
4 Porom
Sacrificed Herself To Protect The Party
Speaking of Aerith, fans talk about that death being traumatic in Final Fantasy 7. However, those who grew up in 1991 know that Final Fantasy 4 had not one tragedy, but several. This includes children, no more than five or six, turning themselves into stone to save the party.
In the game, Cecil was temporarily joined by twins Palom and Porom. Palom was a Black Mage whereas his sister Porom was a White Mage. Even though Porom was practically a baby, both she and Palom did the noble thing by sacrificing their lives for the cause. That’s not just a good sister, that’s a good character. Thankfully, the twins eventually get revived from their stone hellscape.
3 Reynn
An Level-Headed Sister Who Looked After Her Brother
Reynn is part of another set of twins, making the list end at three. She is from World of Final Fantasy which was like Kingdom Hearts if those games were just about Sora jumping into specific Final Fantasy worlds. Reynn and her brother Lann could visit locations from most of the main entries and interact with beloved characters too like Cloud from Final Fantasy 7.
It’s also a Pokemon clone as players could capture monsters and stack them on their heads to create power towers. Reynn had the brains and drive to get things accomplished whereas Lann was a bit of himbo. He sort of breezed through life, so thank goodness he had a sister as nice as Reynn to keep him alive and on task in the game.
2 Iris
Despite Her Ulterior Motives, She Was Devoted To Her Younger Sister
Iris was Gladiolus’ younger sister in Final Fantasy 15. She may have looked like a young innocent teen, but she could kick monster butt just as much as her brother except without all of the muscles. From her wardrobe to her martial arts fight style, Iris was like a new version of Tifa from Final Fantasy 7.
Final Fantasy: The 10 Strongest Villains In The Series, According To Lore
Final Fantasy has a multitude of titles to its name and just as many villains. But, according to lore, which are the strongest in the series?
She got to join the party temporarily several times in the adventure but she wasn’t playable like Noctis. She was a good sister as she kept tabs on Gladiolus to make sure he was psychically and mentally okay. However, she had ulterior motives too as she was deeply in love with Noctis, so it wasn’t all noble.
1 Lightning/Serah
The Sister Duo Who Saved Each Other No Matter The Cost
Lightning was the protagonist in Final Fantasy 13 who saw her sister, Serah, get cursed and turn to crystal. Afflicted by the same curse, Lightning used its abilities to her advantage. It was a race against time to fight back against the empire and get answers for Serah before it was too late.
That’s a strong motivation for a sister, but Serah is equally a good sister to Lightning. In the sequel, Final Fantasy 13-2, Serah became the protagonist and had to go through time to save Lightning. These two would do anything for each other, so it has to be a tie for number one even though Lightning appears in more games. Yes, there was a third and final chapter called Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy 13.
