Theory 1:

Has anyone notice that the most powerful Bankai's has 4 stages of release?

Yamamoto-North-South-East-West

Kyoraku Shunsui-Dan 1-Dan 2-Dan 3-Final Dan

Ichibei could be an exception and he didn't use his Bankai's powers to the fullest.

Theory 2:

Regarding what "fake" Yhwach said to Yamamoto about his Bankai looking different.

When a Shinigami achieves the true power of his Bankai, with its full name, the Shinigami enters a similar state as his zanpakuto spirit fusing with his zanpakuto.

Yamamoto had automatically the flames on his body.

Renji had the monkey and snake arms fuse with him.

Rukia look exactly the same as her zanpakuto.

Ichigo Mungetsu, looks similar to Yhwach new form.

Kyoraku didn't turn into a women but she is always around him and holding him.

Komamura's Bankai was immune like him.

Possible Aizen fusing with Kyoga Suigetsu in Muken. (Affecting Yhwach and all)

Conclusion:

Byakuya's new bankai will definitely have the samurai armor.

Ichigo's new bankai will have a hollow and quincy looked.

That would explain why did Yamamoto's Bankai change, Ichibei after the war most have told him the full name of his zanpakuto.
