I found some gameplay footage on youtube:

FFXIII-2 gameplay footage 1

FFXIII-2 gameplay footage 2

Perhaps Atlas is a new Fal'Cie, its size reminds me of Titan a bit except not as huge. It also appears that somebody in the party or there is a feature in game that allows the party to recruit monsters. This time they had a flan and in the official trailer there was Pulsework Soldier or something. It appears that the theory of Noel being from the future will not be correct since Serah remarks that Noel has never seen the inside of Cocoon and that they are living on Pulse.

Nothing has been confirmed though they should all still be dead. Of course FFXIII used a bit anime logic in that if the player doesn't confirm the kill then whomever is not dead. With that we did not specifically see Yaag's or Cid's death.
