This isn't what he said :P He was just stressing that it was a much loved class by those that played as it. In other words, it was a cult classic.

The thing about PUP is that it was mired by poor design and lack of balancing...
While I appreciate that Puppetmaster was a flawed class in FFXI, this has nothing to do with its possible design and inclusion in FFXIV. Every job that exists in FFXIV that also existed in FFXI is handled very differently. So the flaws from FFXI have no baring on what could happen in FFXIV.

You're welcome to give suggestions on how the job could work within the current game, within the current systems in place. I'm half tempted to cook up a suggestion myself just to see if the job can actually work and gauge how much the concept would have to change to be a non-joke job.
I would love to see what you'd cook up. There are a million ways that Puppetmaster could be designed for FFXIV, but so long as it stays true to the spirit of the class then I think Puppetmaster fans will be content. The purpose of this thread doesn't seem to me to be about the details, but rather the desire.

I loved Puppetmaster. In fact, I think I loved it more than my main job. If Puppetmaster was added to FFXIV there's a good chance I would never touch my other jobs again. I wholeheartedly support Puppetmaster for FFXIV.
