From Software does get a longer leash for certain things. I mean Bloodborne, Demon Souls, Dark Souls, Sekiro, Elden Ring are all VERY similar. With a lot of the same concepts and even story wise lots of similarities. They recycled a lot into Elden Ring with enemies, magic abilities, upgrade system etc. Thats why I'm excited for their new Armored Core game. It looks to be a complete departure from what they been doing for the past several years.
