How to 'Select Storyline' ?
Wiki says the early Gens are selected by Duncans storyline button,
but I dont see him having one.
I'm pretty sure I did the rookie quest and had Duncan tell me to talk to him to choose a storyline, but I dont see any way to do that when I talk to him... no button or keyword for Storyline.

It's been so long but I recall that G9, at least when it came out, was pretty hard. Changes to the game have probably made it much more manageable though. I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right, but one of the G's, around that, required you to transform, for some reason. You get Falcon now in G2/3; G5/6 don't exist any more, meaning G2/3 have meaning for non-humans; do them.
EDIT: G8 gives you that dragon summoning horn, which is maybe required for G9.
I'd suggest that you go ahead and do the earlier generations first. They are easier to complete than they used to be. It takes a little time, but not much. And you can appreciate the main story better that way. Also do Blaanid's Memory Book quests. They will make it much simpler to complete the generations when you use the AP to maximize your combat skills.
Yes. When the Alchemist story line came out, it was quite the challenge. Some of it was doable solo, but others required large parties. It was common to see full parties to help individuals along.
I don't remember the horn being necessary for G9, however. True, back in the day, it was used heavily on the G9 Final. But last year I soloed all of G9 on an alt and cleared the final with Meteor Strike instead. Yes, I had done the previous generations, but most of the work was accomplished through the stats from skills. There are many mechanics in the game to rank up skills quickly, and the current event makes it possible even faster.
An update just for your reference...
We were both right to some extent.
I just completed (solo) G9 on an alt. I skipped the Dragon story. There is a step in G9 that gives the bugle to players who skipped G7 and G8. The game mechanics expect players to use it in the second half of the G9 finale. However, a well-placed Meteor Strike absolutely can one-hit the boss en lieu of the horn.
