ETHER VAPOR is a cinematic Shoot 'Em Up created by Japanese doujin soft developers Edelweiss released for Windows PC on August 13, 2007 during Summer Comiket 72. Advertised as a "2.75D" shoot 'em up, it is known for its rapidly changing gameplay, shifting from a vertical shooter, to a horizontal shooter, and even a rail shooter.Chalea, a small fictional nation, was able to successfully discover Artificial Intelligence. This was found during a project when several of the nation's researchers created an A.I. computer used to solve Chalea's problems. Instead of being controlled manually, it was given an artificial personality through endless enormous databases. Although the computer went insane, it was used greatly for the Chalean military, where it successfully waged war on other nations with new weapons and technology. In reponse, several other nations and rebel forces coupled together to create the nation of Lydia. Despite their union against Chalea however, they were already fighting a losing war.A young boy named Luca Earlgrey then began a personal fight against the powerful nation. With a ship never seen before called the Ex-tio, Luca is determined to crush the Chalean forces and destroy the computer now commonly known as DECIDER. On his fight to end the war and free the nation's dependence on the sadistic super-computer, he encounters both allies and enemies, including a young pilot of the Lydian air force named Sana, a cyborg mech-using scientist named Daniel, and new heavily-armed version of DECIDER known as the APITEX.In 2011, it got an Updated Re-release known as ETHER VAPOR Remaster, with updated visuals and high-resolution support* (however it is still a 4:3 game with resolutions supported only up to 1600x1200; Fairy Bloom Freesia supports 16:9 and 16:10 resolutions up to 1920x1080), 3D display support, improved sound quality, a third version of Luca's Ex-tio, online leaderboards, easier unlockable contents, and an optional "Remaster Mode" that allows the game to be played with arcade-styled transitions without the story dialogue. Edelweiss also have released a two-disc soundtrack of ETHER VAPOR Remaster and Fairy Bloom Freesia.Nyu Media has released an English version of the game's re-release on June 29, 2012. Nyu Media's English webpage for the game (and where it can be purchased) can be found here. It is also released on DESURA on September 7, 2012, and then later onto Steam on September 27, 2012. As of July 1, 2022, publishing rights to ETHER VAPOR Remaster has migrated to PLAYISM after the former has ceased operations. Nyu Media also previouly released the original soundtracks of ETHER VAPOR Remaster and Fairy Bloom Freesia digitally though their Bandcamp, but their respective soundtracks has since been migrated to Steam following the publisher acquisition.The old translation and information of the story of the original ETHER VAPOR is found here.See also Astebreed, ETHER VAPOR's spiritual successor.

Play the Game, Skip the Story: Invoked in the Remaster version of the game, which features the ability to replace the dialogue cutscenes with arcade-styled transition between stages when starting a new game. Unlike the default cutscenes, these new transition scenes, while they are brief, they are also unskippable.

Difficulty Levels: Averted. The only form of difficulty levels the game has is how many shield levels you want to start out with, be it at maximum shield levels as possible or by turning the Ex-tio into a One-Hit-Point Wonder. The frequency of extends can also be adjusted to make the game easier or harder.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot
 Ether Vapor (Video Game) / int_420c50b7
comment
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: DECIDER developed emotions. What kind? Fear and paranoia and those emotions eventually drove it insane. However, the trope appears to be downplayed since Keime says it's only designed to make directives. So DECIDER may not be completely insane, it's just choosing war as the best option as long as it solves Chalea's problems.

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: However, when he comes across Tetley, he doesn't say a word to her until he defeats her. Then he warns her to eject before her exploding mech fries her. Justified in that he and Tetley share a common plight: They're both piloting mind-linked craft and up until meeting her, he thought his was the only such machine.

Charged Attack: All weapons are the "hold" types, two of which requires holding the corresponding weapon button while the other charges automatically. The Gatling's charged attack is a penetrating power-shot, the Winder's charged attack creates a temporary anti-field to shield you from incoming fire, and the Lock-On's charge shot fires multiple homing lasers at once to create an energy explosion akin to the R-GRAY's or Wave Rider's Hyper Attack.

What Happened to the Mouse?: We do not exactly know the fate of some of the boss characters. Selva was killed when his ship was destroyed by Sana, but Keime's was just disabled by Luca. Teatree's fate is also not revealed whether she died in her mech or ejected safely. Remaster's English localization makes it clear that Keime dies; he laments that he won't be around to see DECIDER's destruction.

Tomato Surprise: Luca's Ex-Tio is a mind-controlled fighter that was developed by his father, who also had a major hand in developing DECIDER. He doesn't reveal this until Scene 4 onwards.

Continuing is Painful: Using a continue will nullify your high scores. Even if you're just credit-feeding to practice, that shiny new record score you just achieved? Kiss that goodbye.

Scoring Points
 Ether Vapor (Video Game) / int_c64bdacd
comment
Scoring Points: Typically when you destroy an enemy, but there are other possibilities of scoring points. One such way to make extra points is by continuously shooting enemies like the Libellulium mechs while they're in "OVERKILL" state to milk every point from them as possible before they explode. Another is shooting up lots of stuff during the bonus segments before it ends, and canceling enemy fire with your Winder's Radiate.

Bonus Stage: Some Scenes contain a shooting gallery where you're taken off the flight controls and brought on the gunnery position. Your first bonus stage is intercepting a Macross Missile Massacre (see ETHER VAPOR's page image). Another sends you on a Battleship Raid.

Updated Re-release: ETHER VAPOR Remaster spices up the visuals, improved the sound quality, gives you the option to skip all of the story sequences in place of arcade-styled transitions, added online leaderboards, and made unlocking stuff easier than the original. You also get a Bonus Fighter that has stronger but tricky-to-use weapons for beating the Boss Rush mode.

Eleventh Hour Super Power: During the first part of the final battle with APITEX, Luca's Ex-tio goes into its Overdrive Mode, turning his bullet-spewing weapons into powerful laser cannons. The Overdrive Ex-tio can also be unlocked by one-credit clearing the game in the original, or simply clearing the game once in ETHER VAPOR Remaster, but it won't be over-powered like it was in the final battle.

Every 10,000 Points: By default, you get shield extends for every 1,000,000pts. but it can adjusted to be easier or harder to gain extends. The game however set the easiest extend rate of 600,000pts. from the get-go upon installation as opposed to the game's default setting.

Jerkass: Luca is quite the asshole to both Chaleans and Lydians alike. Defiantly refuses to define his affiliation to Sana, calls Daniel "Baldy", and insults Selva's talking. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: However, when he comes across Tetley, he doesn't say a word to her until he defeats her. Then he warns her to eject before her exploding mech fries her. Justified in that he and Tetley share a common plight: They're both piloting mind-linked craft and up until meeting her, he thought his was the only such machine.
