The gameplay combines the Beat 'em Up action of the original game while combining RPGElements that allows Freesia to gain new abilities, attack skills, increase her stats and more. It also features its own in-game AchievementSystem along with HD resolutions and widescreen support. Edelweiss also released a two-disc original soundtrack, one for ''Fairy Bloom Freesia'' and the other for ''ETHER VAPOR Remaster''.

If it fills up completely, Freesia will be knocked out of her guard state and be rendered very open to attack.
