The Canadian musician decided to stop using this moniker in December 18th, 2009 and start using his own name, Owen Pallett, as he planned to release his third album in the Japanese market, where the name 'Final Fantasy' may have conflicted with the famous video game franchise. He also announced that previous albums will be re-released under his name
Owen Pallett is a violinist and singer from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. He is the principal member of the band Final Fantasy, which is essentially a solo group, although Leon Taheny is also credited as drummer and engineer. (This band should not be mistaken with Square Enix's famous game series "Final Fantasy" - its music is mostly composed by 植松伸夫. The name "Final Fantasy" is in fact a tribute to the well-known video game series.) On September 18th 2006, Final Fantasy won the inaugural Polaris Music Prize for the best Canadian album (based solely on artistic merit).
Pallett has been noted for his live performances, wherein he plays the violin into a sampler controlled by foot pedals, which then loops back one or more of the previously played musical phrases as he plays additional parts simultaneously. He has also performed with more traditional string quartets as backing musicians.
He believes his work is somewhat influenced by his sexuality, saying "As far as whether the music I make is gay or queer, yeah, it comes from the fact that I'm gay, but that doesn't mean I'm making music about it." in a recent interview.
"I'm taking a cue from Joel Gibb," he begins. "He and I are very different people, and we're very different in terms of the way we've assessed our sexual identities, but one thing I really respect about him is that his music has less to do with his identity and more to do with the more interesting aspects of himself." He states in an earlier interview in Toronto's NOW Magazine concerning his sexual identity and its use in his music.
On 12 February 2005, his debut album, Final Fantasy Has A Good Home, was released by the recording club Blocks (sometimes referred to as 'BlocksBlocksBlocks'), a cooperative, Toronto-based record label of which he is a member. A second album is entitled "He Poos Clouds", and inspiration for the songs are based on the eight schools of magic used for Dungeons & Dragons and how they relate to modern times. It is released under Tomlab.
His previous projects included a 3-piece Toronto-based band, Les Mouches, now defunct. He is still a member of another Toronto band called Picastro. Owen has also recorded and toured with The Hidden Cameras and The Arcade Fire. One of his songs, "This Is the Dream of Win & Regine", was inspired by the principal members of the latter group, Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, and a Dntel song of a similar name (This is the Dream of Evan & Chan). Owen also co-wrote the orchestral arrangements for both of The Arcade Fire's albums, along with Régine Chassagne.

Final Fantasy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But sometimes I need a day off
Don't get that face lift as a result
Don't you mind, you can take one, too
Don't you mind, don't you mind
The lyrics to "Reverse" by Final Fantasy speak about the singer’s feelings towards his significant other, whom he loves dearly but sometimes feels overwhelmed by. He confesses that he needs a break, but also doesn't want his partner to change their appearance as a result of his request. The line "Don't get that face lift as a result" could refer to the singer feeling guilty or ashamed for needing space in the relationship, as if it's his fault that his partner may feel insecure about their looks. He reassures them that it's okay to take a break too and that he doesn't mind.
This song is a heartbreaking and honest take on relationships where both parties may need to take a step back and recharge. It's refreshing to see the singer acknowledging their needs and how it affects their partner, and being considerate of their feelings. It also delves into the societal pressure that couples face to constantly be together and happy, even when it may not be feasible. The lyrics are simple yet profound in their message of self-care and communication in relationships.

Doll, I love you
My dear companion, you mean the world to me
But sometimes I need a day off
However, there are moments where I require a break from our constant togetherness
Don't get that face lift as a result
Please don't feel the need to change yourself because of my request
Don't you mind, you can take one, too
I encourage you to also take breaks when necessary for your own well-being
Don't you mind, don't you mind
Please don't be upset or worried about my need for time alone, it doesn't diminish my love for you

The summons are really awesome. this time they get an important role in the story as well as bigger, more terrifying, more shocking and more gripping.
