Which FromSoftware game to start with?

So I want to start one of these games soon and not sure where to start. I don't really care about playing them in order. I'm looking to start with the easiest one. When I say easiest, I'm talking easiest to learn the fighting mechanics, navigate through the world, learn the inventory system, etc. I've heard that Demon's Souls is actually the toughest, and that's the only one I've tried so far. I had no idea where I was going or what I was supposed to do and kept dying a lot, so I stopped pretty early on. So here is what I have:

Demon's Souls on PS3
Dark Souls on 360
Dark Souls 2 Scholar of the First Sin on PS4
Bloodborne on PS4

So, where do I start?

I would suggest Armored Core. j/k

Bloodborne is very different, IMHO, especially in terms of combat, and doesn't really require a familiarity with the other games. I'd think that's a decent starting point if you don't care about order or anything. It's also only 19.99 at Gamestop right now.

My vote goes to Dark Souls.

For the record I played Dark Souls first and was completely blown away by the experience. Truly the greatest game of all-time in my book. After beating it I moved on to Demon's Souls and ended up shelving it after a while. While still a great game, I found it much harder than Dark Souls and needed a break from it.
Bloodborne didn't click with me because of the move to gunplay versus sword and shield.

The only one I've played is Bloodborne, so that's my vote.
