The text on reddit is

Q. How hard is Alexander Hard?
Y: About as hard as FCOB Savage ← ?!?!?!
and leaves much room for interpretation.

And in earlier questions he confirmed again what I wrote in other threads

Q.Does that mean there'll be something even harder?
Y: Depends on the players' clear rates and requests.
Q. So Alexander was made with player clear rates in mind?
Y: Yup. Looking at the number of player clears, we also have something called Content Costs where we basically want our content to be enjoyable by more people.
I think the clearing rates they have in mind are similar to actual FCoB.
