note Which is critical if the game features sections without an ability to backtrack - even if death is not final, if you're unable to beat the next challenge, you've effectively lost the game permanently, and all the time spent on it is wasted. This goes double if you never know what and how many unexpected and arbitrary-difficulty challenges the game might throw at you any next moment (and JRPGs love doing that), so you feel compelled to always hold to a failsafe or multiple just in case. Or maybe because it simply pains you to imagine having it missing from your inventory. This is either because you're afraid to waste such a valuable treasure and will be waiting for that one good opportunity to use it. The item is useful, awesome, and practical - unfortunately, you're never going to use the item outside of maybe the last boss (as you wouldn't need it afterwards). It could be a Superweapon with an extremely limited amount of ammo, or an ultimate sword that breaks after a certain number of uses. It could be a special power that lets you fly, or a Status Buff that lets you destroy an enemy with the snap of your fingers. It could be an item that buffs all your stats and makes you invulnerable for an extended period of time. Games such as RPGs featuring an inventory system are prone to giving you items that are scarce but very powerful. Yup, it's going to sit safe and sound in your inventory until the very end of the game.
