Yeah, this is a great concept. One of my favorite rpg, Star Ocean: The Second Story, use it and it wouldnt be as great without it.
Especially since the perpecstive between the two choosable characters is very different. One is Claude McKenny, an earthling, travelling on a spaceship for the "federation" whos gets traped on expel. The other is Rena Landford, an expellian, a innocent young woman with mysterious healing powers, who has lived most of her life in a medieval-ish town.
So Claude knows a lot more about how the universe works, science, laws of physics, the fact that there are worlds behinds the stars. But at the same time, he cant (supposed to not) tell anyone on expel about it because of the federation.
If you wanna check out the story of SO the second story, they made an anime out of it:
