I wanted to comment on this myself, after having finished the solo instance inside Cid's memories this morning. I'm not sure I like that the dev team is seemingly incorporating more and more solo instances to this game, especially since the multiplayer aspect is why I enjoy it so much. Plus there really aren't any rewards for doing these, minus progression and the rewards you would have received from completing the quest anyway. Also you can only do them once per playthrough.

I'm not sure I was interpreting this right, but apparently the next patch won't have a Trial because they're incorporating their resources into creating a solo duty instead. Regardless of how amazing this solo duty might be, I heavily disagree with this decision for the reasons listed above. However I could very well be misinterpreting something so please correct me if I'm wrong.
