==Arte Description and History==
−
The Guardian arte was introduced in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', providing direct access to the arte through the game menus and arte shortcuts. Although Guardian is used by only three of the characters in the game, all of the other characters have their own variant of Guardian, named differently in both the Japanese and English versions - {{nihongo|'''Damage Guard'''|レデュース・ダメージ|Redyuusu Dameeji|"Reduce Damage"}}, {{nihongo|'''[[Force Field]]'''|フォースフィールド|Foosufiirudo}}, {{nihongo|'''Guardian Seal'''|衝弾符|Shoudanfu|"Rush Bullet Seal"}}, {{nihongo|'''Earthly Protection'''|地精陣|Chiseijin|"Earth Refined Position"}}, and {{nihongo|'''Bastion'''|不剄|Fukei|"Non-Beheading"}}. All of these artes provide exactly the same effect as Guardian, with the same 10% of max TP cost.

The Guardian arte was introduced in ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', providing direct access to the arte through the game menus and arte shortcuts. Although Guardian is used by only three of the characters in the game, all of the other characters have their own variant of Guardian, named differently in both the Japanese and English versions: {{nihongo|'''Damage Guard'''|レデュース・ダメージ|Redyuusu Dameeji|"Reduce Damage"}}, {{nihongo|'''[[Force Field]]'''|フォースフィールド|Foosufiirudo}}, {{nihongo|'''Guardian Seal'''|衝弾符|Shoudanfu|"Rush Bullet Seal"}}, {{nihongo|'''Earthly Protection'''|地精陣|Chiseijin|"Earth Refined Position"}}, and {{nihongo|'''Bastion'''|不剄|Fukei|"Non-Beheading"}}. All of these artes provide exactly the same effect as Guardian, with the same 10% of max TP cost.
A less potent form of this arte, the passive skill {{nihongo|'''Magic Guard'''|マジックガード|Majikkugaado}}, can be activated quickly by holding down the guard button on the controller (usually the SQUARE button for PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable games, or the X button for GameCube and Nintendo DS games) and pressing DOWN with the left directional pad or joystick. This shortcut method only blocks effectively against spells, and any physical attack can break the character's guard, canceling the skill. The basis of this skill first appeared in ''[[Tales of Destiny 2]]'', as one of five defensive maneuvers that can be used at the cost of SP (basic guarding, "Spell Guard", "Advancing Guard", "Back Step", and jumping). In ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', the primary melee characters can obtain the [[TotA - AD Skills|AD Skill]] {{nihongo|'''Skill Guard'''|スキルガード|Sukirugaado}}, which replaces the Magic Guard shortcut with the arcane arte Guardian.

Though the defensive skill that the protagonists use in ''[[Tales of Legendia]]'' is unnamed in the Japanese version, they announce Guardian in the English version.
