This is true -- However Yoshida is the Director and Producer of this game at present time and for the past year which means aside reimagining older concepts, a lot of stuff he has direct control over.

What's funny about all of the Tanaka hate is people assume he's been brushed aside or never in the front light of either project until things started to go a way they didn't like.

I'll just say though, I loved Seiken Densetsu 2 and 3 and I'm pretty sure Tanaka was all over that series -- Most people who had a SNES and played Secret of Mana loved it as well.
