Trainer definitely has an identity, not to mention implies a healthier relationship with your animal companions than simply conquering them.
At least it's not as stupid-sounding as "Puppetmaster" I suppose.
Calling any job "X-master" is just lazy.
It's a euphemism designed to strip all identity. Beastmaster not only is a FF staple job since FF5 but also is simple and honest. What is a beastmaster? A Master of Beasts. And a character in the game already has the discipline of Beastmaster in Lyon Helsos.
Trainer on the other hand is so generalized you could be training a flea circus, flying rocks, Carbuncles, or a fleet of hot air balloons, training for the moogle olympics and the list goes on. If anything is lazy I'd think it would be a general term that could apply to anything.
Not sure how you think Puppetmaster is stupid since it illustrates that there is someone behind the scenes doing all the work.
On that token though if they used Puppetmaster and you only used Mammets to do stuff then you could opt to call the class Mammeteer on the notion you manipulate Mammets. And it would still make sense and retain some identity.
Final point what is going to excite people more? Seeing a Trainer in the party or a Beastmaster?
Odds are Beastmaster is going to take the cake.
If Lyon is anything to go by I don't think your job title is going to affect the feelings of your feral meaty beast that is going to go ham on anything you tell it to rip apart.
