I always thought the general consensus on unlockable characters, especially in multiplayer-focused games, was that it was a dumb trend that you can't play as everyone in the game out of the box. Not that I really care either way, myself. I actually find unlockable stuff fun (like unlocking stages and characters in Smash Bros), but a lot of people have been pretty vocal about how much they hate it. I won't be surprised if we see less and less of it as time goes by, especially from Western developed games.
