I'm not sure you're familiar with the concept of a spiritual successor. We are in agreement that Bloodborne doesn't have anything at all to do with Dark Souls story- or setting-wise, and it's a completely different game. However, it's made with familiar Souls mechanics and design concepts, and by the same two studios as Demon's Souls, which makes it a prime example of a spiritual successor. Wouldn't you agree that the Souls games are entirely different games and don't share much resemblance with the Kings Field series? And yet the Souls games are considered spiritual successors to King's Field.
