There's also an achievement that references killing an Ascian... so yeah, I think we know what the trial is. ;)

It's just related to World of Darkness (Since that's pretty much inside of the Void), not to mention the actual name would at least have a capital letter in there.

However yes, as Alberel said, we have a general idea of what to expect. Just not location-wise and in enough detail.

It could have never been Giglamesh, gilgamesh fight was already obvious from the start. The achievement list spoils it pretty bad and by the looks of it, it's most likely Nabriales, that impatient Ascian.

Yes I just checked the JP patch note and the achievement for the mystery trials means : Slayer of the Majestic King 尊厳(Majestic)王(king)を屠りし者(slayer), and Nabriales in FFXII is known as Nabriales the majestic, which pretty much confirm that it's him and not Lahabrea taking his revenge.

Ugh... Hope they can surprise me, but a Trial against an Ascian just sounds insanely dull to me... Perhaps I've just run Praetorium one too many times, but I simply cannot see how they can possibly make these generic villains into interesting fights... To be honest none of the fights against individuals in this game have been particularly good, and most of the Garleans had some gimmick to at least seem interesting... Ascians... Float there and do generic evil laughs!

Lahabrea was basically designed to be a victory lap, which is why his fight at the end of Praetorium was so painless. The Garlean commander fights are actually somewhat interesting - if your party's actually at the gear that Praetorium was designed for, which basically won't happen.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with this fight.

Maybe it will be like fighting all members of Organization XIII at once in Kingdom Hearts :p

We don't actually know what the Ascians are capable of in direct combat yet. Lahabrea's fight at the end of Praetorium was easy because he was being arrogant; he wasn't even trying because he knew Hydaelyn had exhausted herself and he thought he'd win easily against a bunch of powerless mortals. He also knew he couldn't die so he didn't care...

The Scions now have a means to actually kill an Ascian and Nabriales knows we beat Lahabrea so he won't underestimate us. He'll hit us with everything he has and I expect we'll see some interesting mechanics as a result.

Well, the mystery duty is labeled as "???". That's three, count them one, two, three ?'s. Three ?'s, three sides to a triangle, Half Life 3 confirmed, we're fighting the Illuminati.
