The team at Sekai Project have every reason to celebrate, with their Kickstarter campaign for an English localization of CLANNAD reaching more than $550,000 in pledges. One of the best deals of the campaign in my mind was the $50 Kickstarter exclusive first press copy of CLANNAD which also includes physical copies of the CLANNAD Mabinogi Arrange Album and 80-page physical CLANNAD Fanbook.
While Sekai Project have made it clear that anyone will be able to buy the visual novel through Steam when it launches (Estimated launch date: October 2015), they are unable to give an answer on if non-backers will be able to purchase some form of physical edition at a later date.
In response to a question on their Tumblr page inquiring if the CLANNAD Kickstarter is the only way of getting a physical copy, Sekai Project responded with “Right Now, Yes”. They do however mention that discussions are on-going about the prospect of an additional non-crowdfunding physical edition, and will make an announcement if anything changes.
If a physical release does become available purchase outside of the original crowdfunding period, I would expect it to be more expensive and/or lack some or all of the bonus goodies.
