However, the game hasn't been released yet. As such, the interviews of developers published by magazines and websites are hardly solid bases for claiming that a game is a copy-paste job. While it's true that there are definitely some similar elements in it (e.g. "Blood makes you human" => "Blood makes you more than human" => "Blood makes you human no more" vs "Collect souls to get stronger"), others have been tweaked or changed completely (e.g. Bloodstains have been removed; instead, enemies absorb your dropped XP).

I say this from a point of disinterest in Bloodborne, but I would imagine that From anticipated consumers assuming it'd merely be a copy of the Souls series, so it wouldn't make sense for them to not try and majorly differentiate Bloodborne from the Souls franchise.

Anyway, perhaps we should just wait and see what the game is like before judging it, no?
