I just recently switched to using component cables with my ps2.  Just got a new tv.  I can say that all my games look amazing...... Final Fantasy XII looks amazing too, but now with the better picture i get with the cables, i'm getting these wierd vertical clearish lines that run along the screen.  i switch back to composite and couldn't see them because i guess the picture isn't shap enough. They don't move, they're just there and really easy to see on character's faces and when there's one color like white or the blue sky is on the screen.  Is it like this with everyone's copy of FFXII or is it just me.
