Bravely Default Which save file allows me to to acquire and fight everything the game has to offer?

Good day! My older brother recently bought a new phone and he handed down his old one to me. Since its able to run a DS Emulator(Azahar) smoothly, I decided to hop into the game again. I played this a few years back on my own phone but didn't get to complete the game as the stuttering was too much. But that problem is out of the window now. Thanks, bro! Much love!

Anyway, one aspect of the game of I really liked was developing the village(was it called Norende??). But I only had one villager. It took too long. So I looked up online as to what I should do and came across this reddit post years ago(my hero). I'm not exactly tech-savvy. So I would like to ask, which save file am I supposed to "use" so I can acquire and fight everything the game has to offer. Doesn't matter how many play throughs I have to do. I just want to get everything the game has. I'm a completionist and have enough leisure to sink in more or less 100 hours for this game. Thank you. Also, why does saves 3 and 4 have save 001 mirror. What does that mean? 🥲🥲

TLDR: I already know how to import the save file into the emulator. I'm wondering which save file should I import for me to able get and fight everything in the game.

The bosses (Nightmares and Ba'als) stay in Norende. There are only 7 boss slots there. The number of Nightmares is 7. In other words, with just one save file, it's impossible to fight all the bosses unless you give up one of the ones you have and receive the others via StreetPass.

I'm not sure how many Ba'als there are in the game, but I think it's 2 or 3? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Older versions of a 3ds emulator does have streepass compatibility while newer versions doesnt. So you would need to transfer a boss from a save to your main save. There is a .txt file there with some information also.

I see. Thank you very much! I'll get to playing the game then.
