Article only mentions dungeons. Did they add it for story trials too? As far as I know that's only available for early 4-player trials and a couple of very recent additions. The Chrysalis, Steps of Faith, etc can still wipe a group of human players easily if their mechanics are ignored.
Nothing for 8-man trials. The only trial that has trusts is one in Endwalker that I'll avoid mentioning for very obvious story spoilers.
Mhm, that's one of the "very recent additions" I meant. The other being Memoria, but that's a sidequest.
Bit of a sensationalized headline, then. They're almost there, but not "entirely."
This article isn't entirely accurate. Trials will still require playing with other characters, and the three 24-person Crystal Tower raids that are a requirement for progressing the story also must be played with other people.
