Terra... definitely. Not so much because I adore Terra, but because I despise Theme of Love... the cheesiest FF theme ever written. It's not the good kind of cheesy, either. It's very cringeworthy.

Theme of Love is ok imo, but paired against Terra it doesn't stand much of a chance. Terra is a beautiful atmosphereic piece, and I just down right love the echo effect. Vote.

Have to go with Terra here. I don't care much for Theme of Love...especially the original version, as the instrumentation used there makes it pretty grating.

Um, pretty much what Black Mamba said :) Terra is very atmospheric and kind of mysterious.. Theme of Love could be a lot better.

I went with Theme of Love. It was the first song that introduced me to VGM when I played it as a youngster. Although I never listened to it frequently until I came to college, this song has always inspired my listening of VGM. It holds a special place in my heart.

Terra has always been a very lighthearted, inspiring track. Very historical. Theme of Love just seems... "meh". Uematsu could have done much more with the track to make it a gem.

*votes Terra*

Historical? You sure you're thinking of the right Terra?

Though I prefer "Bran Bal...," I like how "Terra" interweaves "The Places I'll Return to Someday" in conjunction with an ethereal/otherworldly feel. Its fluidity is outstanding.

"Theme of Love" was good for its time and I can see how people can feel sentimental towards it, though I'm with the masses here by thinking 'it stinks of cheese'. Sorry guys. :)

"Theme of Love" is far from cheesy, at least in a series blessed with "Aerith's Theme" and "Eyes on Me" it's not. I still have to go with "Terra" though as it's my favourite rendition of the wonderful place I'll return to theme.

I sure hope no one confusese the Terra's, else ToL will probably lose. Speaking of Terra, Branford is such a random name compared tot he others in the game.

"Terra" for me as well.

Chris summed up my thoughts perfectly: I like how "Terra" interweaves "The Places I'll Return to Someday" in conjunction with an ethereal/otherworldly feel. Its fluidity is outstanding.
