They actually did sing words when preparing the MIDI for that scene, but the compression of that format made any words unhearable (...)

MIDI isn't a compression format, just a control format for synthezisers (or anything else really). There are no words there, but they did a lot with the voice sample(s) they used.


I think that they indeed used voices, since in one of the post Black Mages concerts interviews with Uematsu, he said that during the SNES era they had intended to use voiced songs already, yet via the compression and loss that the MIDI format had in that time, they had to sample the voices below the song itself.
