Proposal to separate game versions

This should have been brought up when the PS4 version released, but with the recent release of the Steam version, and potentially a new surge of interest in the speedrun, now seems like a good time to separate the leaderboards for the original PC version and the PS4/Steam version, the latter two being pretty much identical.

The original Japanese and English-patched PC versions have clear advantages over the more recent versions that were changed in a number of ways. These changes range from re-tuned experience gains, boss health values and boss damage values to equipment pick-ups, all of which affect the speedrun.

Additionally, the original version allows you to skip all start-of-level dialogue by simply playing through the game once and starting a new game without exiting completely, as the game does not reset those particular flags on a new game.

And so, in order to make the two more recent and accessible versions viable to speedrun, I think it's only right to separate the leaderboards for the classic PC version and the modern PS4/Steam version.
