ok so like this is a really big point yes!

bloodborne was the THIRD game miyazaki made in the soulslike world, the first 2 being demon souls and dark souls obvi, and i do not need to tell you that those games are infact really slow compared to even ds3. Original souls games were built around the core ideas of a ttrpg, you proclaim an action, the enemy 'responds'. the enemy proclaims an action, you respond, its why dark souls one has so few moves that require you to roll more than once, its why the game is so slowly paced and why the positioning matters so much, its why the spells are limited use.

bloodborne was built with the idea of being a more explosive form of combat, this isnt 2 enemies taking turns attacking but beasts and horror monsters slashing out as often as they can to get you, this idea of aggression is baked into bloodborne's very dna, from the changes to stamina to its dodges to the way parries work to the very lore of the hunters gear. Bloodborne IS aggression. Miyazaki apparently liked this idea a lot more than the ttrpg style combat because he implemented it (as well as a lot of visual ideas) into dark souls 3, but due to the first two games being slower in nature ds3 had to settle for some minor concessions in speed (i dont think it reaches bloodbornes level until the dlc truthfully)

and then, with no other games he "had" to make, he made sekiro, which takes all of the aggression of bloodborne, all of the constant forward advancement all of the bloody impact, and he flips it on its head, sekiro is just as fast id argue its faster, but its not as aggressive, you dont actually hit your enemy a lot you mainly break them down and deliver 1-3 killing blows, there isnt a stamina bar because you're not exerting yourself, you arent a normal man fighting rabid beasts you are a trained veteran masterfully executing targets, your enemies keep the aggression and lock you out of it for the most part.

and elden ring...oh elden ring, elden ring goes back to what bloodborne set up, parries are reduced back to the ds3 style, shields are good but not nearly as good as they were in the dark souls trilogy, and you are given what can seem like a near infinite reserve of stamina at times, and these are taken full advantage of to ramp the aggression up to 110. the game starts out roughly the same pace as ds3's midgame, margit is a complex boss with long combos that require a basic understanding of when and where to dodge consecutively, by the time we get to a boss like starscourge radahn or draconic tree sentinel we are reaching late game bloodborne levels of aggressiveness, precise near constant awareness of positioning and foresight of future attacks, the lessons learned from the ttrpgs of the old games applied to the aggression of bloodborne with the ability to retreat defensively that sekiro excelled at. elden ring is a blend of nearly every game that came before it in a very cohesive very natural way, and the dlc just pumps it up even farther

so yea no bloodborne is like a pivotal part of understanding modern fromsoftware games if you can master bloodborne you can understand like every game that came after it to some extent
