Will Alexander Midas (Savage) require A4S clear?

I've heard this rumor about midas savage requiring only midas normal mode clear to be unlocked. Is it true? I thought A4S clear was going to be a requirement. I understand it wouldn't make much sense developing and releasing a content accessible to only a really really small part of the playerbase. Still, it's a raid and it seems strange you can skip the obstacles like this. It feels like gordias will be abandoned sooner than the first coil.

It's been said that it will require the completion of Midas story mode, nothing about Gordias (Savage).

People will still spam Gordias, for relic.
If you can't clear Gordias savage, then why jump to Midas savage?
With higher ilv gear, Gordias savage will be easier to clear, anyway.

You'll need Gordias story to do Midas story and Midas story to do Midas savage, you won't need Alex savage for Midas savage. That said, gordias savage will probably be DFable and get nerfed and be given echo so clearing it won't be that difficult anyway.

Midas savage is going to be easier than Gordias savage, comparatively. That's why.

It has been said, multiple times that you do not require Midas Story to enter Midas Savage, you only had to have completed Gordias Story. This is further echoed by the recent update on the Lodestone.

Just do Midas (Normal) to access Midas (Savage). Alex (Savage) will be a piece of cake in 3.2, forget about it.

Except it is a translation error that appears only on the English lodestone. The other 3 versions (JP, DE, FR) announce different prerequisite quests for Normal and Savage.
