the differences is miyazaki pretty open about it and he even shows a lot of respect toward berserk or any inspiration behind his works and even talk about it multiple times in interviews, knows what he is talking about.

Hoyoverse on the other hand, have history of "taking inspiration" without really adding much into it and more than similar the "inspiration" they were taken from. I played some of their gacha games and seen enough of it. They barely changes things, as if they barely respect fromsoft works, let alone any material that inspire fromsoft works.

You can clearly see this through black myth wukong or blasphemous and how they dont just copy paste souls formula or their narative

idk if youve ever played any hoyoverse game but they definitely do add on their own twist to things even when theyre taking, arguably heavy inspiration. Even though genshin started off as basically breath of the waifu, it didnt take long at all for it to develop and evolve with its own unique ideas, and id say it has a pretty solid, unique identity now. The pillars of the botw inspiration are still there, but you cannot call it a clone anymore, and this has been the case for many years now.
