If it was really nice 2D sprites not god awful looking polygons this game would be kinda awesome.

Yeah, the polygonal models look like DS quality in Mirror of Fate. They're bad. Though the only time 3DS has good 3D is if they mask the 3DS' low texture detail by making models with little detail, like Super Mario 3D Land or Pushmo, or heavily stylized, like Professor Layton or Dillon's Rolling Western.

Though actually, Fire Emblem: Awakening goes for a pretty detailed look and looks pretty alright. So I dunno, I guess Mirror of Fate's graphics are just bad.

The issue I have is the frame rate. It's terrible.
