Anywhere from 4-8 years, depending on the animal in question, its health, its affection toward you, and its personality.
Larger livestock live a minimum of 5-6 years.
Add 1-2 years if they have a high affection.
Sheep have a slightly shorter lifespan than the rest of the larger livestock. (no numbers given)
Angora Rabbits and all Chickens can expect about 4-5 years.
Personality wise:
Active animals become more affectionate faster but they tend to die a little younger.
Cowardly animals tend to live longer but it takes longer to increase their hearts.
Level-headed is your in-between.
And apparently if you save the night before you wake up to find a dead animal in your barn, you can reload and they may not be dead the next morning.
Save scumming to increase life expectancy!

I'd normally complain about livestock dying, what with how much effort and time it takes to get one of each to produce + products, and to get all of them producing 5-star products. But 5-6 years is a pretty long time. Quite frankly, I don't even know if I'll still be playing it past year 4 or 5. lolol.

I know I should probably just watch a game review but I thought maybe a discussion might help me make a better decision whether to purchase the game or not.
I LOVE the Harvest Moon series so I'm wondering what the key differences between HM and Story of Seasons. Is it as addictive as the HM series?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean.
Story of Seasons is the newest Harvest Moon. lol.
It's developed by the same company as always - MarvelousAQL. It's still a Bokujou Monogatari (Farm Story) game. The only difference is that now XSeed (ie, Marvelous USA) is in charge of the localization. Since Marvelous owns XSeed, the translations are done in-house now and localizations to other countries should be more efficient. At least profit-wise, for them, since they no longer need to go through anyone else.
Natsume used to be in charge of localizations for Bokujou Monogatari games, and they published them under the English title "Harvest Moon". Natsume holds a copyright on the name "Harvest Moon", so XSeed legally couldn't use that name anymore. And apparently Natsume intend to do their own thing in the future under that name. However, Natsume was never the one who developed the games, all they did was translate. The only one they've made in-house was The Lost Valley, which I'm sure you remember most fans found to be lacking.
I don't blame Natsume for holding onto the name. It's really all they have going for them.
tl;dr Because legal issues, Story of Seasons is the new English name for the Harvest Moon series that you know - the one that's always been developed by MarvelousAQL - from 2014 onward.
Future games titled "Harvest Moon" will now be developed directly by Natsume.

Oh my. I was told different which was why I thought they were similar but different games. Haha.
In that case! Anything that stands out about this game in contrast to the others?
I'm not as well-versed in the series as many others here, I'm sure, but I can sort of answer this.
From my understanding, Story of Seasons is essentially an updated version of A New Beginning.
If you read here, posts #4, 5, and 6 highlight many of the similarities and differences between SoS and ANB.

I suppose Marvelous didn't want to go too crazy right off the bat, just get a better localization out of Xseed, basically. Well, there's the Vendor thing and the Rival Farmers/Conquest system, but the former allowed me to ship things to someone daily before Winter, year 1, and the latter wasn't nearly as competitive as I was hoping for, haha.

I want the butler outfit so bad, but I don't have the blueprints and some of these materials I have no idea how to get. How do you get + products? I'm also wondering where one is supposed to get a Sil. Camel-Hair Cloth.

Lovely resident of Manzana~
+ products come from taking your animals to the little safari area for at least 100 hours. Also you don't get Camel's until like the 3rd or 4th year I believe.
Once you get a camel you can shave it, get its fur and turn its fur into yarn then colored cloth. The butler outfit in particular comes from winning the fashion show.

Camels are Year 4. I was just reading that on fogu.
Secondly, I'm so glad someone finally cleared up the safari hours for me. I mean, I finally reached 101 hours last night with one of each of the animals I have so far, and those are all producing my + products now (though I guess I could have sent both chickens, lol)
I was so worried about it, I read somewhere it was like 100-150 hours, which was why I started the log in the first place. But I reeeeally didn't want to keep wasting 5-7 hours of my days to go fishing at the safari LOL.
Guys, guys I have a dumb question.
Some clothing patterns are appreciation rewards from vendors. If you miss an appreciation reward pattern, will it come back up next year or is it gone forever? o:
I can't imagine anything would be permanently missable in a game they expect you to pour 3,000 hours into, but just in case, lol.
