Having your character talk during cutscenes

[Kallera]

During cut scenes, I prefer bigger roles for our characters instead of just being the extra in the cast.

A good example is like the character you make in White Knight Chronicles. You don't even need him, but he is there in the cut scenes anyway. lol

I hope that's an example of what not to do. Only near the end does the story even begin to acknowledge your role in the group as "Leonard's friend.". It took dlc to flesh out more of your story. DLC the US never got...
