Going strictly by the anime, what with that being all I've seen, I'm picking up plenty "I love her" vibes from Sophia. Same as everyone else, really.
Maybe I'm biased, seeing as the one thing I don't want is a regular ol' paired ending. I'd certainly like to think that more or less the same thing you described with Maria happens with the others too. In a certain way, a paired ending with Maria would be my worst case scenario. With Maria being the protagonist of the game's story, but not the actual story, it would be pretty disappointing if things end up treating her specially in both.
edit: I do want to emphasize that I don't dislike Maria herself. She compliments Catarina perfectly well, and I myself like her very much. I'm also not trying to say someone shouldn't support one ship over another, or like one character over another. My favorite character, aside from Catarina of course, is probably one of the least liked among people on dynasty.
