Nomura comes off as the weakest of the three, though his style is still very nice and memorable. He doesn't really do environments though. Like, at all
I feel Yoshida is the bridge between Amano's "art" pieces and Nomura's Character design process. Yoshida does more to give his creations and artistic flavor the designers use for their games like Amano, but his designs also easily translate well into 3D modeling like Nomura's style making his stuff easier to work with.

Well, actually Sephiroth was jointly designed by Nomura and Amano, so he can't really take all the credit for it. Much like how Amano can't take full credit for Shadow and Setzer from FFVI since Nomura came up with them first.
