I understand the request, even the fact that you feel that it may be some sort of compromise or reasonable request to ask for a pet that is, essentially, equal in size of the player.
But perhaps, and this may be bad expression on my part and I am sorry for it, what is not being relayed here is that with the existence of your pet, you've essentially doubled the size of your own avatar.
Also, keep in mind, the picture being used for reference is not, in the least bit, accounting for perspective change in the video. The Ifrit is actually closer to 2/3rds the size of the Hume Male, rather than half which is being inferred here.
Likewise, the enlarge picture used as refrence is actually closer to the red version implied rather than the green, which is actually more accurate to the real avatar.
To display how the camrea angle and distance is skewing the view of the players, we must first reanalyze the appearance of Ifrit Egi during its introduction.

In the video, from 0:58, to 1:03 you can pause it at brief intervals in which the angle the Egi can seem much larger to much smaller depending on the angle of view and the position it is.
So let's get another reference.
First, the picture of each race of Summoners, as listed in the Blog. (View from the front for additional reference. )
Then, let's take a screencap of the video from the Tour of Eorzea 3, which directly overlays the Size of the Titan Egi to a Roe. (at 4:53 you can verify that even with the Roe in front, Titan is still roughly half its size.)
Comparing a Roe to a Hyur in the previous transposed images, you get roughly 2/3rds the size of the Hyur - which, in my viewpoint, is a fair size for the Egi's to be.
All and all I'm satisfied with this size reference. I do not feel as if summons need to be as large as its casters.
