Feel free to do the math for me, because I just don’t see it.
Tsukuda hasn’t worked on armored core since 3, he was long gone from FROM before Armored Core 6 was even an idea.
Kawamori did mecha designs for Armored Core 6.
FROM said Armored Core 6 is in early development in 2016
Daemon x machina came out in 2019
The director of Armored Core 6 was Masaru Yamamura who worked on Sekiro until 2019, so outside of concept art and maybe early prototypes no major work had been done on Armored Core 6 before 2019.
At what point was the rumored development hell that you still haven’t sourced?
Did the development start in hell? Because the Daemon x machina producer, who according to you left FROM because AC6 was in development hell, presented Daemon x machina in 2018. At that point AC6 had already been in “development hell for a good while”, but they had only been in development for 2 years?
That’s not at all unusual. In fact, bigger studios will often have a few very small teams working on game concepts for years, to test an idea without spending too many resources.

There you go, 7 years to make the game, you did the math.
