To Zanarkand is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful piece and is one of the best and most serene and somber openings of a Final Fantasy game.
But Man With The Machine Gun was a battle theme that sounded like dance music and it blew it me away. In case you can't tell, I'm a sucker for the "wow" factor and thus it gets my vote.

I love both these songs, arg.
Man with the Machine Gun is a favorite battle song of mine, it's one of my favorite songs from VIII, but Zanarkand has this gorgeous piano and this melody that makes your heart ache, like there's nothing in the world that can fix it. It's the intro to X and it's the tune of much of the story, and for all of that, I'm voting for it.

I can only wonder at the sadistic mind that laid this choice before us. Man with the Machine Gun excellently captures Laguna's fun energy that contrasts with Squall. But Zanarkand captures Tidus' tragic story and that has to take it for me. Did not expect to find myself voting against Man with the Machine Gun already.
Both are so good. This is a real toughie.
It's a weird decision, but possibly in virtue of "Someday the Dream Will End"'s existence, I'm voting for Man With the Machine Gun - with that song's presence, Zanarkand just can't strike me as much anymore in comparison. Man With the Machine Gun is infectious - all the enemies look like they're dancing to it

Man with the Machine Gun. Zanarkand is nice, but Man with the Machine Gun has a lot more wow factor too it.

To Zanarkand was the very first Final Fantasy piano piece I ever played, but Laguna was the very first Final Fantasy character I'd probably go gay for

Wow, dead heat so far. I never found the piano version of Zanarkand appealing. I prefer orchestral variants. Even still, I'd probably vote for Man with the Machine gun, even though it is not a strong piece in itself, imo. I like its otherworldliness, for lack of better description.
