Nintaku:
I was actually considering putting a request in GMs Wanted for a small-scale FFG Star Wars game, and here you are. It must be the Force guiding us. You have my interest for sure. :D
There are a few things about the FFG system that bug me, but I think they're a) all in my head and b) only problems because I was the GM and didn't really get to be a player. I'd be happy to join in on this. My only concern is: If someone goes with an Age of Rebellion Career instead of FaD, will they still be considered Force Sensitive if they can't afford one of the Force universal specializations?
In order to be Force Sensitive, you will need to have a Force Rating of 1. In order to get that outside of an F&D career, you'll need to spend 20 XP and get either Force Emergent or Force Sensitive Exile, both of which are universal careers. So, no, only if you take either of those Universal careers will you get that Force rating of 1. Only by taking an F&D career at character generation will you get the Force Rating of 1 and be considered Force Sensitive. Since Force Sensitive Exile and Force Emergent are Universal Specializations (like Recruit), they can be taken at any time after game play start.
Generally, non-Force sensitive specializations will have the advantage of having stronger spec trees in various non-Force things. Force and Destiny had it's trees designed in such a way so that players who only owned that book could do, for example, a Luke Skywalker X-Wing pilot as the Starfighter Ace (a Force Sensitive pilot from F&D.) You can do the same thing in AOR as an Ace who takes Force Emergent. The way it works in F&D, you're not forced to buy AOR. Another bonus is that if you buy an F&D specialization, getting Force Emergent is still of benefit. Rey from The Force Awakens is a great example of a Seeker->Artisan (basically, a Force Sensitive tech scavenger) who is also a Force Emergent. She starts with a Force Rating of 1 and climbs to a two with blossoming Force powers that makes people like Kylo Ren freak out as the game progresses.
