Nevermind, I'm wrong. I just went there myself and they show you each level...and yeah...you have to do Chaos stuff like crazy. This includes Crazy Ranmaru, Von Leon, and Akyrum.
Edit: So after doing it a bit myself I discovered I kind of like this concept.
It's basically a Boss Rush Mode. Each boss you kill gives you points towards your IA (I think, it adds it to a menu for the Tower, and the tower has a level stat with your current points/exp, and a % to the next level).
Grandpa Barlog gave like 50, while Zakum gave 250ish. Link and I are waiting for the safe time to pass for Horntail and then we'll see how much he gives.
Link seems to have hit a bug when it comes to staying inside of the tower. He reported that when he did Rog, he was warped to Henesys, and when he did Zakum he was warped to El Nath. I had neither of these issues, and was warped back to the appropriate tower floor after my runs.
The best part of all of this, is that it warps you DIRECTLY in the boss in question's lobby. That means no Manon Cry/ETCs/Sword gathering for HT, and no long El Nath Mountains journey for Zakum. You are warped directly into the map with the NPC that lets you into the Boss.
Also, you no longer require mules for any expedition. All of them are 1 person minimum so far.
Unfortunately the only issue is that JMS never implemented Instanced Zakum or Horntail, and as a result you can end up waiting still, and with such easy access to the bosses I imagine more people will be doing them than ever before.
I have no idea where Hilla fits in all of this, I don't remember seeing her in the floor list.
Side Note: When Angelic Buster gets released in JMS, expect to see 5-10 minute Tower of Trials full runs, I sure do.
