No.

A Hard Enrage wipes your party immediately. A Soft Enrage does not - it, in general, creates a situation where either your party will be overwhelmed by successive waves of adds/tactics, or your healers' mana bars will be expended and they will no longer be able to heal through the damage.

SE knows exactly how to create a Hard Enrage, and they would do that here if that was their intent. If they wanted this to be a Hard Enrage, it would be a Hard Enrage. SE's developers are not stupid. They know exactly how to create a Hard Enrage - and have done so in several other encounters. There is no reason to believe that their brains suddenly fell out of their heads while designing Turn 2 and they somehow "forgot" how to make a Hard Enrage (especially considering that Twintania does have a Hard Enrage, and Turn 4 does not).
