** Some monsters in Chapter 2 drop weapons that are not usable by anyone. You can [[OldSaveBonus carry them over to the next chapter...]] only to discover that most of them are starting weapons for the new characters.
** In Chapter 3 you can buy a weapon usable only by a character that's considered missing-in-action as of second chapter's ending. It sprouted [[EpilepticTrees fan speculations]] about [[HesJustHiding the character returning]] in a future installment.
* In ''VideoGame/LastScenario'', you will sometimes find weapons of a type that isn't used by any of your characters yet at a [[MiniGame hex tile]] trading post. {{Lampshaded}} in Keltena's LetsPlay:

** In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIV'', you can find throwing stars for Edge in Eblan Cave before he joins the party at the end, and buy Paladin equipment before Cecil changes class. The latter is lampshaded, as one of the customers in the armor shop mocks you by informing you nobody in your party can use the Paladin equipment. When you come back after the class change, talking to him has him begin to repeat himself... only to be stunned when he realizes you ''do'' have a paladin.

* ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI'' has a nice item compendium, all sorted by item type. Thus, you know what all the weapon types are as soon as you receive it, well before you've encountered several of the characters.
** The greatest example among them is Axes. When you think you've recruited everyone and are nearing the end of the game, you won't have encountered an axe wielder. This is a big hint that you haven't found everyone yet, though it doesn't point directly towards [[spoiler: Hendrik, who has been an antagonist who uses swords up until then]].
