I’m okay with harder trials as long as they communicate their mechanics okay. A lot of them are good about showing a simple dodge mechanic, and then slowly layering on it, but there’s also a lot that spam out 8 forms of red herring information, and expect you to solve an icon puzzle instantly on the first time. Those just lead to me sitting on the floor while 8000-hour players solo the boss without reviving me.
