The prelude is definitely iconic.
I think FFXIII (if I'm not mistaken) had a different theme playing at the title screen, and I remember being completely devastated. Somehow I simply expect that theme when I start a FF game, and hearing something different was...strange.

Also (if we are talking about the soundrack) "prelude - rebirth" is definitely a bit generic, but "prelude - discoveries" is an amazing track. It starts with the classic prelude sound and then builds from there. I believe that was also the track playing while installing the beta for 2.0 (at least on PS3)?
