In game choices affecting the overall story line / events in Chrono Trigger.
Very few games have done this since then, especially to the degree they did with Chrono Trigger.
Most games today that have choices essentially wind down to the same ending with minor variations.
Chrono Trigger not only gave you completely different endings and stories but they even gave you an extra main character (Magus) to join your team depending on your choices.

Shenmue and the whole QTE thing. It's horrible now because it's been beaten to death but it was real innovative at the time.

Yep you are right, why didn't Capcom bring it back for SFV

I feel the only answer for this was to sell more colors for that $. They were REALLY stingy with the alt colors for that game lol.
