"Terra". I love "Airship", but it feels pretty generic next to "Terra".

"Airship"; fun themes like this are my weakness.

Terra. I really don't see the Airship hype to be honest. It's fun to be sure and a decent track but not so much as to have come this far. Terra, for all its popularity, rightly deserves praise for its basic yet memorable melody, its tragic-yet-hopeful feel. Of course it's losing...if there's one thing I've learnt from this contest is that faith in the taste of others is not worth having. :p

Terra, for all its popularity
Because popularity is something that needs to be overcome :p
And "Airship" certainly deserves to have come this far, after all, you know, "Main Theme" did ;)
I really dont' like "Airship" from FFXI so almost anything would beat it in my opinion, but Terra is definitely a worthy song, although still not one of my favorites for this contest. Vote Terra!

Airship. Never liked Terra. In fact, I think that the only reason it got so far is that some people confused the 2 Terras.

Gasp. Gasp.
Disrespect for the last good leading female in a final fantasy game?
Gasp.
Airship is just... I can't take it seriously. The guitar is nigh-respectable, but that synth is like a smack in the face. I find it all very clashy. And then the drums, and the arps, and I'm shaking my head in dissapointment. The choir/brightness synth is too little too late to save this generally unimaginative piece.
EDIT: Besides, this reminds me of Terra from FFVI, anyway. It smacks of esperness.

Terra. One of my favourite themes from FF IX overall. :)
Airship is bland. Pleasant, but bland.

Airship is nice, and I like the orchestration -- a relaxing synth mixed with acoustic guitar. But when the drumset comes in . . . . ouch. It's just too cheesy for me.
So Terra gets my vote this round.
