Thanks for the explan!

But, yes, again, the background looks a bit washed out. I understand it's good for backgrounds to look washed--Sword of Mana, a god, is very similar. The backgrounds are all bright and light. It helps the character to stand out

However, still, for critiquing purposes, it hurts the eyes. It literally looks like you just dragged the contrast bar down so that people have to look for waldo.

perhaps add a last highlight to the blades for a crisp, bold look. It will add more character and depth to your tiles

I really like this! If you try the trick I taught you about rearranging the tiles, as well, it still looks great. I think it can be better, but let's not be too cruel. It's nice!

Well I felt your last grass was pretty but it needed more drama (for grass blades) if it wants to measure up to the holy Seiken Densetsu 3 grass tiling--those people who made it are just amazing. I am amazed that they KNEW they could make stuff GREAT and they did it, they didn't give up they made it.

So I took your X grass, took out the dark green background, then I added some highlights to the grass blades and pasted them over the new grass. I came up with this:
Here's the original tile:

Perhaps a little dirty looking, but I feel it portrays grass a little cleaner. I'd also try to more monochrome the colors/reduce the contrast if your characters are meant to stand out particularly well on the tiles. Right now the tiles have some character

well you did really well! I am very pleased with your image! Are you at all into making tiles? Because I have some ocean tiles for a video game that need animated!

Looks much better! But, yes, there is an obvious boundary if you look close enough. Also, if you're going for an X look to your grass that's fine otherwise perhaps add more blades, make some current ones move different, to remove its monotony.

Your grass is fine! Add more blades, add more shading. Then repost it and we'll see if anything else needs done
