Define “cagey”? Like are you suggesting that Nomura is leaving Kairi out of the adventures so that she can’t interact with Sora?
No? How the hell did you come up with that interpretation?
cag·ey
/ˈkājē/
adjective INFORMAL
reluctant to give information owing to caution or suspicion.
"manufacturers are cagey about the recipes they use to create a wine"
Square Enix has shown no reluctance in portraying Sora and Kairi as the lead couple of Kingdom Hearts. It's been that way since KH1, but ReMind was especially clear on this topic. That doesn't mean it's the best ship, or that you have to embrace it. But SE has never portrayed the topic as "Who will Sora end up with? It is a mystery."
I know about the 2.8 credits, but to me, it feels like Nomura just doesn't care for that anymore, like in KH3, Roxas and Namine don't even interact
Namine and Roxas didn't interact in KH3 because Namine barely interacts with anyone in KH3. They decided to put off bringing her back until the very end, resulting in no developed relationships for her.

Ok then. I thought you were implying Nomura might have a bias against Sokai

I don't think Nomura like or dislike Sokai. It feels like he just doesn't care about the romance between them, unfortunately. It's like Nomura just creates the romance between them because it's an epic story and it is expected for the main character to fall in love with someone. Which sucks because I feel Sokai fans deserve better; even Soriku fans deserve better than this shallow romance we are getting in the games. That's why I don't blame Soriku fans for wanting a better romance for Sora. But even with all the flaws Sokai has, I can't stop loving them; they're so cute together.

You know there might be a reason most of the possible ships haven't fully sailed yet:

Their age.

There are a lot of writers who find the idea of hooking up teenagers to be uncomfortable or not something they can write well. This is why a lot of shonen series tends to avoid romance with the couple until the end and then time skips to their adult years. Nomura especially is most used to writing older teenagers/young adults. Even Tidus and Squall were seventeen in their games. Sora is now sixteen which means Nomura might find him closer to a more "appropriate" age for romance.

Soriku shippers are gonna crucify me for this but I have a thought. What if Ven’s heart was the source of any possible feelings Sora might have had for Riku, there by explaining why Sora and Kairi seemed to bond a lot more after Ven wakes up? In layman’s terms, Ven might be the one the has a bro crush on Riku
