The four guardians are clearly references to the Sì Shiàng, the four guardians of the cardinal directions of chinese mythology: the vermillion bird, the white tiger, the black tortoise, and the azure dragon, their names (Genbu, Suzaku, Seiryu, and Byakko) referencing the the House of origin of the japanese "counterparts", the Shitennō. There is a lot of transliteration, so I don't know if I got any japanese or chinese mixed up, and I'm not a specialist, so I can't say much else, but if someone knows more, they should add it in. Oddly, I noticed this while looking up FFXII monsters who reference to the same creatures
