I'd call it just pure Guide Dang It!, particularly if there isn't any semblance of a justification. Tropes Are Not Good, and all that.

The ultimate weapon is also considered Lost Forever in this case.
My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!

Would it be Violation of Common Sense in the case of Final Fantasy XII that opening any of four specific non-descript chests prevents you from achieving one of the ultimate weapons? I know it's also a case of Guide Dang It!, but my thinking is that the common sense with RP Gs is to open all chests.
