i like the idea of the medic class, but i didn't care very much for the animations they showed in the dev speak. anyone else feel like the animations were missing something?

The resonators look pretty dumb and they hold them awkwardly.

The Resonators could stand to be streamlined a little bit, but I'm guessing that over time the dual-wielding classes will be given more options about what to carry, including Open-Hand.

Dual-wielding is a single slot in this game.
So this is very unlikely.

The way medics seem to work is brilliant. Every MMO player ever has at some point said "why can't I just heal mobs to death", and every now and then a healing class has one or two abilities that heal friends and damages foes, and Carbine built the whole class around that idea. Good job knowing what's up, Carbine.
I might abandom my latest tank obsession to roll this Medic. It looks like the promise of what I wanted the DoK to be in WAR before they ruined it with the chalices.

I'm glad the dev team is incredibly conscious of how most healers in most MMOs are played and how they're trying to avoid that. I'm glad they recognize that some people don't want to play a minigame with their UI to heal, maybe we want something else out of being a healer.

Like shooting people in the face as a space cowboy to heal them.

You just came to the wrong neighborhood, motherfucker
I'm sort of reminded of the Guardian in GW2, to be honest, what with the "hit people in the face to heal your bros" thing. This is a good thing, since I honestly think that mechanic is awesome and I'm glad it's happening more.
That being said, the blend between tech-y goodness PLUS healz may be the thing that brings me back to playing a healer in an MMO... that's what I used to play in the old days (by which I mean Guild Wars 1)

I notice the three dual-wielding classes vs. the three single-handed weapon classes, is there any reason for this aside from aesthetics ? PVP perhaps, where apparently being able to quickly identify an opposing class is A Thing ?

Aesthetics most likely, but your point about PvP is also valid. One of the more important things to do when designing a character is to give it a readable silhouette so it can be recognized easily from a variety of angles and distances. It's all about readability, however it definitely does play a strategic role in PvP.
Now that's not saying that's specifically why they chose that, as you can create that readability without being forced to use dual wielding, but I'm sure it is something that was considered and was part of the overall design process.
Plus Dual wielding is generally considered "cool" or "badass" (despite realistically being not "a thing") which is a major factor in the aesthetics of this game.

Well 2 of the the single weapon classes have 2 hander weapons. And the third doesn't use their weapon. I'd say it's just an aesthetic thing considering dual-weapons are a single slot in this game so there is no gameplay/stat difference.

I want this game but....I'll be honest here, I mostly want Wildstar: the Movie at this point, brought to you by Pixar and Carbine. I mean....these videos are fantastic.
Ugh, no idea which class to pick. Both esper and medic seem hella sweet, but all depends on how they manage to balance out healers. I will be sad if I manage to roll the one class they just say "fuck it" about healingwise.

When we first compiled our list for invites, we found out that one guy/gal had >1,300 entries on the master list.
Today they have zero.
Don't be that guy/gal.

That second one just reinforces my desire to play all the classes.
It also continues to test my willpower and decision to play Warrior first. The Engineer looks so awesome. I want this freakin game so much.

p sure that's just the normal bot color.
Yeah, all bots are teal. And adorable.
I love the little faces they gave them.
