Gameplay is just a feature and nothing else. If it aspires to be something more meaningful, we'll see. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing more of this. In fact it looks like there'll be more, so then any improvement over any aspect could get interesting.

Edit.: About the "Gameplay is just a feature" line, well, what have I payed for exactly? And if Arzette continues, what'll I pay for if I pay for it? A game, or a product that features gameplay? But I don't say that in a bad sense. In fact, due to Arzette's origins and identity, I think it could improve itself if there were access to all the scenes and even a ytp editor (which seems unlikely).
The thing is, the "identity" still has a way to go. Arzette has what it needs, but the gameplay where it comes from still feels inefficient. Personally I think it'll be better with less questing and more characterisation. Fewer cutscenes about Arzette's gimmicks and more use of said cutscenes to try to make branching paths or dialogue choices (for example; those are just two possible features).

For now this is all. Due to how it is, this is not your typical game.
