I think with and without vocals inspire very distinct and purposeful feelings. While the lyrical version is dropped at what feels like not the best times.. I recently saw someone suggest, the lyrics have only ever dropped in the story when the whole of the Turali continent has come together on something. The first being Wuk Lamat's ascension to the throne and the second during the efforts to bolster the train. It may not land the way it may have intended to, but with that context I can see the importance of the lyrical element. Lyrics in this game have been usually reserved for reverent situations or deeply emotional ones, from the transition of Sephirot to phase 2 or evocation of the Primals from ARR to Present.
Thank you, been looking for this song
This song is a case study about how vocals can ruin an entire instrumental

Kept on saying this to people, not that I hate Akino. It’s just her singing style didn’t fit with the melody and pace of the song which ruined it.
