* WhatIf: In the original ''DFO'', it was Ozma who swore revenge against the Pell Los Empire while Khazan wanted nothing to do with his former friend's schemes. The synopsis of ''The First Berserker'' given by the game's trailer indicates that it is Khazan who will be enacting revenge instead.

Added DiffLines:

* ArtShiftedSequel: The game's visuals as seen in the trailer are incredibly realistic, a far cry from either ''DFO''[='s=] 2D pixel art or ''DNF Duel''[='s=] anime-style 3D cel-shading. The characters are, however, still subtly cel-shaded to stylize them in such a way that they resemble their original artwork.

* DarkerAndEdgier: While ''DFO'' is not exactly sunshine and rainbows, it is visually vibrant and bursting with life. The trailer for ''The First Berserker'', by contrast, shows very gritty and muted colors, very prominently dominated by greys and blacks

** It is spelled "Khazan" in this game with an "h", rather than "Kazan" in the original game.
** Originally referred to as the "Pelos Empire" in ''DFO'', it is now spelled as "Pell Los Empire", likely to make the connection with its future counterpart, the De Los Empire, more obvious.
* RedRightHand: Both of Khazan's arms are shown transforming into a demonic red hue in the trailer, similar to how Slayers afflicted by Khazan Syndrome would appear in the present day of ''DFO''.
