One of the goofier gags of Final Fantasy 7 is the 10 minute long stair climbing sequence where the player has to manually walk up 59 flights worth of stairs. The remake takes this joke several steps further, adding on voiced dialogue, audio distortion, slowing Cloud's walk speed, and a floor tracker for all three characters, taking the joke to new heights.

What exactly was the motivation behind the developers implementing such a silly joke in the first place? And what could the logistics behind it possibly be?
