** Another big one in ''Star Ocean: The Second Story'' is the Sharp Edge. It's a rather weak weapon for Claude that you can only get if you take second place in the fighting tournament, then speak to a specific NPC. Oh, wait, after the tournament was over, you left town BEFORE you spoke to that NPC? Guess what, the sword's Lost Forever. And did you know that Claude can customize it a few times and end up creating his [[Infinity+1 Sword]]? Guess you shouldn't have forgotten to get it!
** Another interesting variance from ''Star Ocean: The Second Story''. There is a particular hidden witch you may talk to in an early town, which promptly becomes uninhabitable a few minutes of game play later, and then much later in another town. If spoken to in both locations, she unlocks Indalacio Limiter Off, an alternate form of the last boss. It's a variance due to the fact that most players ''don't'' want this to happen, as [[That One Boss|he will destroy you]].
* ''[[The Elder Scrolls IV|The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion]]'' made great effort to keep any quest from being Lost Forever, through completing other quests—although this does cause some confusion, such as a thieves' guild quest where you steal from the Archmage. No big oddity there, until you realize that {{spoiler|at this point, a decent number of player characters already ''are'' the Archmage}}.
** And while it's pretty good at not having quests Lost Forever, it's not good at all with items. Specifically, one of the guild merchants sells a bunch of rare items. He's the only person in the game you can get these items from. You have to kill him for a quest. He also sells a bunch of rare spells, but you can get those again once you're done with the quest line.
*** There's another guild merchant with a unique spell that only ''he'' sells. And he's killed as part of a quest. If you didn't buy the spell from him before he dies, it really is Lost Forever - no other spell in the game has that type of effect!

* Any website that doesn't allow the Internet Archive to search its old pages.
* At [[TV Tropes]] (and by extension here), due to [[The Great Crash]], certain examples and [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]] articles were Lost... ''Forever''...
* From [[That Guy With The Glasses]]:
** A video by [[That Dude in the Suede]] that ranted against Youtube's takedowns of [[The Nostalgia Critic]] episodes which caught the interest of [[Doug Walker]] and in turn was responsible for That Guy With The Glasses/Channel Awesome becoming a showcase for more contributors other than Walker is lost and gone forever. The reason? Suede said he'd delete the video when the dispute between Walker and [[YouTube]] had run its course and Suede had saved the video on a now long-gone college computer.
