With Yoshida we have lost a lot in this game with tanaka we did have some sort open world content and yes you can say they came after yoshida took over but fact is yoshida in 1.0 was working off of tanaka game plan all he did was lessen the latency and add some decent content at the time but now all we do is instance everything now we can get to the meat of the topic
Yoshi had nothing to do with 1.0-1.23b. He may have added some (extremely) minor content ideas, but the dev roadmap was already in place for that year. When the fiscal year resets, the devs have to submit their roadmap of what they want to do, when the wanna do it, when they think they will have it complete, and how much it costs. Once the roadmap is approved it's then locked into place for the year. From there, the devs then break their workload into quarters and order them on a scale. They then assign team members (they have the man hours already planned) to perform the functions (this is called the SPRINT cycle) with weekly check ins to ensure you are up to goal or ask for assistance if they are lagging behind. Yoshi joined in the middle of the roadmap. He had very little he could do/say to alter 1.0. Everything up to 1.23b was Tanaka's vision being implemented.

Gotta give credit where credit is due.
