Don't worry too much about parrying. It will become obsolete pretty soon, as it's only trully viable against World 1 enemies, or against the goblins in World 5, if you have fast reflexes for it.
I only used the Purple Flame Shield during my entire run on Demon's Souls, up until I was strong enough to use the Tower Shield. Basically, an upgraded Purple Flame Shield +10 has 83% guard resistance, meaning that the Stamina drain while blocking with a PFS+10 is very low.
If you want to strike a balance later in the game, consider getting the Dark Silver Shield (for 100% magical reduction and parry abilities) and upgrade it to +5 with Colourless Demon's Souls (from Primeavil Demons while on Pure Black World Tendencies or Mephistopheles quest).
Keeping those two shields in your inventory is enough for pretty much anything on the SP aspect of the game.
World 4 is indeed the shrine of storms. The World has a very nice gloomy feeling to it.
