I don't think you understand that there IS a lot of difference between the two. Where as, in non-FAE, a character might not have a skill at all, and 'might' actually have to use the +0 default, which I don't see happening ever in FAE. As far as I can tell, one of the biggest differences is that no matter what the action is, a character can effectively use their highest ability in FAE to conduct all rolls with, unless the GM specifically rules otherwise. I have to disagree that FAE is not 'wildly different' from non-FAE. See more of Fate, as FAE would guarantee the Fate Accelerated Version? Is there any actual tag that guarantees the skill system version. I just have to be more careful with new purchases from EH. Yes, I'm annoyed that Evil Hat uses a loophole to call a FAE book Fate Core. Instead I got a FAE book that had nothing to do with skill system mechanics, and nothing on how such mechanics in the book may be used with the expected system. The problem I have is that I was specifically looking for Fate 'Core' (using skills) books that had magic systems to research. When a person purchases a product that is tagged Fate Core, they expect the skill system version rather then the oversimplified version. You expect something that was designed as a Fate Accelerated product to be tagged FAE, not tagged as Fate Core, since they are two wildly different versions of playing Fate. This might be true, but it is not expected. Just as a follow up, the author indicates, and by Evil Hat standards, that Aether Sea is well within its rights to be categorized as Fate Core.
