PS2 component question!

[novasonic]

So, I've decided to start PS2 RPG binging inbetween Wii games. I started doing it years ago, but lately I've been VC RPG binging. And frankly, I've run out of VC RPGs that interest me. So here's the question. I have an HDTV with not so great upscailing abilities. (FFXII almost blinded me.) I know most PS2 games only support 480i, but if I use component cables would the picture at least be less blury than when I was using the A/V cables?

 

Also, what would your top PS2 RPGs be? I've played Final Fantasy X, X-2, XII, Tales of Lagendia and Abyss. I have a few I'm interested in. Such as Xenosaga, Persona, Ys, and Star Ocean. Any help would be super cool.
