Why did you make me backtrack the whole way?

This materia can be quite hard to spot, as it's hidden behind some big fans that need to be shut down in Chapter 6.

Man, even the game is reminding me to get my daily step count up…

I didn't even know this was a thing, as the AP Up materia disguises itself behind a Pedometer materia. At first, it seems useless as it requires you to reach five thousand steps. Once you reach those five thousand steps, it will transform into an AP Up materia which is quite useful for AP centered builds.
