With the release of the Monk at Blizzard's 2009 BlizzCon, the updates on your character choices are now fully visible over at Diablo3.com's character selection page:
In addition to the Monk being added to the already-announced characters, the Barbarian, Wizard, and Witch Doctor, each model has been upgraded to look even more bad-ass than ever with menacing weapons and armor. Go ahead over and check out the Flash-quality rendition of the in-game character selection screen to read more about and see more of each of these classes.
Furthermore, we are now able to watch the Monk videos on the official Blizzard-sanctioned website (trailer and gameplay) here. If you missed out on seeing either of those action-packed videos, go watch them now
(Thanks goes to lordbone for contacting me about the site update and Pedrw for posting a thread about the Monk video site update here- again, positive reputation points if you get the chance :hammy)
honestly i like the old way they had it. where you could highlight or click them and they would step forward and roar or make a call, and a story came up.
it would be cool if the opposite sex model was standing behind the main model and you could highlight that one and bring it forward
Yeah, I'm really loving how the Wizard looks, honestly. That crown on her head is just magnificent, perfectly fits with the Wizard's prideful-yet-elegant personality, and the weapon- it looks like a more elegant and magistral rendition of the Sorceress Orbs in Diablo II.
Yeah I definitely think they should show both genders on that page. And I hope they still do the thing where you click them and they step forward and show off. Who can forget the first time they clicked the Necromancer and he stepped forward and glowed all blue and shit with skulls?
i know what you mean about the crown, that was the first thing i noticed when i saw the page changed on friday.
i feel like for their next update i would be happy to see a few items they are working on, or that are done, rather than a new monster or area.
if what is pictured there is entry level gear, i cant wait to see how awesome my characters will look fully decked out! like when you click the barbarian, that belt he is wearing on his page is amazing. the witch doctors headdress is stunning too
Unlikely that is their entry gear. I really think that headdress the Witch Doctor is wearing there is a premium item. And no one in Diablo has ever started off with stuff of their heads.
I remember seeing a pic of the char select screen at this year's Blizzcon and the Wizard looked like she had on a white outfit. I thought it looked a lot better than the outfit she has on at the official D3 site.
I'm with NeroLucien, pretty sure that was the male wizard. I recall hearing male grunts and etc. when he cast spells. Any confirmations? And yep, that white garb was sweet looking. /me is happy.

I notice the barb has a large sword on the char page now, so it's unlikely we'll see a s/s combo char. I think that bodes well for the return of the paladin and necromancer in an xpac. The wizard looks great too. I wonder how they will handle the 'look and feel' of armour on the monk since he's bare chested and all. What will the female monk wear?

Is this at me? The only reference I made to gender was when ascribing it to the female model on the character page (I think).
Hmmm. I've been trying to download the Monk trailer/gameplay videos since Saturday morning. I just get redirected to a blank page that says 'File not found'. I've tried it in both IE and Firefox, just in case. No luck. Anyone else have this problem?
Edit: I've tried right-clicking on the link and selecting 'Save Target As'. That downloads a 'Diablo3-monktrailer_en-US-downloader' exe file of 15 bytes. No luck running that thing, nothing happens. *Scratches head*.
Blizz's site's been like that since monk's announcement, I've even made a thread on that issue
Guess we'll have to wait... On the meantime I suggest you to download the 12 min gameplay video on this thread: http://www.diablofans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21205 , that is if you haven't already.
It looks like I'm the only one here who thinks that the Wizard looks a lot sillier than she did before with that crown. To me, it looks a bit out of place and unflattering. Then again, I don't even really like how the Wizard looks in general so who am I to judge?

Actually, now that I think of it, her whole get-up is strangely reminiscent of Evil-Lyn from He-Man:
I might have to rethink my opinion.
I think you just gave me my first Wizardess name. (wizardess?)
