What's a "Moral Compass Cricket Thingy"?

[Maniakkid25]

You ARE remembering wrong; they have a blurb describing the character, but that's it. The only other lore we get are in special events and random tidbits of dialogue we get when certain characters play together and the game deigns to give them a line.

Bonus lore is fine as long as it's not crucial to the story. My baseline example is Star Ocean. Star Ocean has a dictionary that gives you overviews of vocabulary, but the game itself explains enough of itself that you don't have to know everything in the dictionary to be able to follow what the story entails. So, if you want to know, say, the reason there's a new year system and when it started, that's in the dictionary, but you don't NEED that information to understand the story.
